Just cd to the directory where you've put the Portfile (*outside* of / 
opt/local) and try "sudo port -d install".  That should work.

Or you could set up a local repository:

	sudo port install subversion
	mkdir -p /Users/Shared/dports/x11/myport
		# and put your portfile there
	sudo sed -e '1i\
	file:///Users/Shared/dports' -i~ /opt/local/etc/ports/sources.conf
	portindex /Users/Shared/dports
	sudo port install myport
