It doesn't seem to have any affect.  This is the contents of the 
".profile" file:

#
# Your previous .profile  (if any) is saved as .profile.mpsaved
# Setting the path for MacPorts.
export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"


This is the output for the "echo $PATH" command:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin


And this is the output for the echo command after I've run "export 
PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH":

/opt/local/bin:opt/local/sbin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
