New description:

 Before attempting to install this port, I installed the latest Fuse or
 macFuse as it is now known. However the port does not see macFuse as
 installed and is attempting to install osxfuse as a dependency, which ends
 up in an error.

 I realized that I forgot an important step..


 {{{
 sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc
 /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc
 }}}
 After you use this command, Fuse is detected - even the latest macFuse.
