Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Originally, the macports user's home directory was /var/empty, but this
 was found to cause some problems, so we changed it to a directory we
 owned, /opt/local/var/macports/home. The installer postflight script
 already contains a block that changes the home directory to
 /opt/local/var/macports/home if it is /var/empty. We could change it so
 that it changes the home directory to /opt/local/var/macports/home if it
 is not /opt/local/var/macports/home. See attached patch.

 This only applies when installing via the installer package. I'm not sure
 what, if anything, creates the user if you install from source.

 I'm not sure what is responsible for creating the home directory or
 settings its ownership. Presumably we should also verify that the
 directory exists and has the correct ownership, and create or fix it if
 not.
