configure/make/install options for compiling applications from source into /opt/local?

$ sudo port edit gnumeric
Error: No EDITOR is specified in your environment

That's the kind of things that are not really Mac-like in Macports.

Lots of things are "broken by default", there are no manuals how to fix

Sincerely,
