Launchd, execve and execvp ...

On a fresh installation of Darwin 8.0.1, on a G4 Gigabit Ethernet, 1g 
RAM, 400MHz processor, I downloaded and installed the latest Macports 
and then did a selfupdate, which confirmed version 1.320.

I then went to install AMP, which I did thusly:

%sudo port install mysql4 +server

%sudo port install apache2 +server

%sudo port install php5 +mysql4 +apache2 +macosx

During these installations I encountered the previously documented 
ftp bug. At these points, I stopped the installation, deleted the 
temp file, manually ftp'd the file into the correct directory and 
then restarted installation.

After these three items installed successfully, I rebooted the 
machine. I got these error messages before the login prompt:

>launchd: org.mapcports.mysql4: execve(): No such file or directory
>launchd: org.mapcports.mysql4: 
>execvp(~/opt/local/bin/daemondo",...): No such file or directory
>launchd: org.mapcports.apache2: 
>execvp(~/opt/local/bin/daemondo",...): No such file or directory
>launchd: org.mapcports.apache2: execve(): No such file or directory

Upon logging in, I ran

>launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql4.plist

and received this error

>launchd: org.mapcports.mysql4.plist: execve(): No such file or directory

similarly, I ran

>launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist

and got

>launchd: org.mapcports.apache2.plist: execve(): No such file or directory

I've Googled looking for a fix and can't seem to find one and have 
searched the two months of archives of this list, also finding 
nothing similar.

Any thoughts on this problem would be appreciated.

TIA.
