Comment (by toki07):

 I think I have been misunderstood :

 Before chown the whole tree to user :
  - As root, the port tree is readable (root has all rights), but the
 process gives an error (Could not open file: .../Portfile)
  - As user, the port tree is readable (I made a chown 755 to the macports
 tree), but I have an error (Insufficient privileges)
 After chown :
  - As root, it is impossible to install anything (Could not open file:
 .../Portfile)
  - As user, it is impossible to install some ports, when root access is
 needed
