Comment (by kencu):

 once that directory exists, it is unfortunately very hard to get rid of
 it.

 I believe I did something like this:

 {{{
 sudo rm -rf
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_m4/m4
 }}}

 about 15 times, and the directory finally was deleted.

 clearly, this is a messy deal.
