That was a known bug in the MacPorts 1.6.0 installer. It should be fixed
in the 1.7.0 pkg though.

You may still find that the existence of other shell config files like
.bash_profile will stop the shell from reading the .profile created by
the installer, but since creating a .profile fixed the problem for you,
that doesn't seem to have been the issue.
