sounds like your PATH env value got steped on. Its needs to begin  
with /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin: to have the MacPort executables  
and ports    runable without full paths. You can check this by typing  
env which will show your present environment setting including PATH.

Have you or something you installed changed your ~/.profile which is  
usually where PATH gets set?
(and  you are logged in I suppose?)
