Well, it works for me without any change to port. My copy of the svn
tree is in /usr/macports, it belongs to me and I can just "port sync" (without
sudo).

% port version
Version: 1.520
% ls -ld /usr/macports
drwxr-xr-x   46 manu  manu  1564  7 Nov 11:14 /usr/macports
% id
uid=501(manu) gid=501(manu) groups=501(manu), 81(appserveradm), 79(appserverusr), 80(admin)
% port -d sync
DEBUG: Synchronizing ports tree(s)
Synchronizing from file:///usr/macports/
DEBUG: /opt/local/bin/svn update --non-interactive /usr/macports
DEBUG: changing euid/egid - current euid: 501 - current egid: 501
U    /usr/macports/multimedia/ffmpeg/Portfile
...

As you can see, the directory (and all its content) is owned by me, with
my primary gid. However, the first time I tried, it failed because
everything was owned by manu:admin and I had errors about setegid being
unable to change effective group.
