New description:

 MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) Intel \\
 macOS Monterey 12.6.8 \\
 Clean install prior to installing Macports \\
 MacPorts; 2.8.1 \\
 Xcode: 14.2 (14C18) \\
 Xcode command line tools: 14.2.0.0.1.1668646533

 The PostgreSQL ports download and install without a problem. When
 following the directions provided I can not Initialize database cluster.

 Error message:
 {{{
 Error: shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot
 access parent directories: Permission denied
 chdir: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
 directories: Permission denied
 initdb: option requires an argument -- D
 initdb: hint: Try "initdb --help" for more information.
 sh: line 1: /opt/local/var/db/postgresql15/defaultdb: is a directory
 }}}

 I used these commands.

 {{{
 sudo port select postgresql postgresql15
 sudo port load postgresql15-server
 sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/var/db/postgresql15/defaultdb
 sudo chown postgres:postgres /opt/local/var/db/postgresql15/defaultdb
 sudo su postgres -c 'cd /opt/local/var/db/postgresql15 &&
 /opt/local/lib/postgresql15/bin/initdb -D
 /opt/local/var/db/postgresql15/defaultdb'
 }}}

 How should PostgreSQL be installed using MacPorts?
