Btw., this is on a PPC (G4 mac mini) with 10.4.10

Just tried it on my Intel Mabook (same Mac OS X version), there it  
works with
   sudo port sync
!

It does not work with
   port sync
on either system, although my normal user owns the complete macports  
working copy...

(I have a uid of 957 and a uid of 700 on both systems, as that is  
what I have on all our servers (actually all computers I use), and  
sometimes it is convenient for nfs-mounts and such...)

Well, it already is...

How are groups handled by Mac OS X?

/etc/group does not contain any group mp on either system, and  
"Accounts"-preferences apparently have no notion of groups;) Must be  
some fancy stuff I don't know...;)
