 destroot/activate:

 See the complete main.log, attached.  This might be called a corner case.
 I work on a multi-user system that uses MS Active Directory.  That uses
 fancy group names with an embedded backslash, which you do not see very
 often.  My actual group name is PSD\rain.  Above you can see how destroot
 mangled that name.

 I tried double-quoting the group name references in the portfile.  That
 did not help.  I am not sure whether this is a portfile problem, or
 something inside macports base.  If portfile, please suggest the correct
 quoting method, and I will be glad to make a pull request.
