Altoine, what items are you seeing that are being picked up from the  
system that you believe should be picked up from MacPorts instead?

The PATH may influence that, but if a port requires a component from  
MacPorts, then it is the port's responsibility to ensure that the  
MacPorts version of the component is used in preference to the system  
component. If that breaks just because the user's PATH is different  
than the port author's, then that is a bug in the port (i.e. the port  
has not used all the configuration options at its disposal to inform  
the software where the MacPorts libraries are located).
