Do you have multiple shell profiles?  In the MacPorts install instructions
after editing the .profile, I put this in the Important Notes:

Other profile files may conflict with ~./profile and should be removed, so
remove any occurrances of these files:
	•	~/.bash_login
	•	~/.bash_profile

That was my stab at anticipating problems.  I'm not entirely sure it is
correct, but it seems like a bad idea to have more than one and I'm not
sure the order of precedence if these files are present in addition to
~/.profile.
