	As I recently replied to a similar thread:


	If you installed MacPorts off any of our 1.6.0 pkg installers, then  
you experienced a known bug in the script that's supposed to set up  
your shell environment for the use with MacPorts: a shell type is not  
detected and therefore no actions are taken. Easiest way around it is  
to download the new one and run it manually:

curl -O http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/branches/release_1_6/base/portmgr/dmg/postflight 
  && chmod +x postflight && sudo ./postflight

	This will give you a MacPorts compatible environment by setting up  
your PATH, MANPATH and DISPLAY environment variables (you can read  
about how we do that at http://guide.macports.org/#installing.shell).  
Please do let me know if you experience any problems, in which case  
sending me a compressed copy of your /var/log/install.log file would  
help a great deal.

	Regards,..
