Comment (by jmroot):

 Has anyone tried just removing the `install.asroot yes` line? That was
 added in r58524 with the rather confusing message "fix non-root
 installations" (it actually has the effect of disallowing installation
 without root privileges). I don't know of any reason why lighttpd would
 need this for only the install phase, which is handled entirely by
 MacPorts base and consists of either creating an archive from the destroot
 or moving a downloaded archive into place, and then updating the registry.
