Thanks Matt & William.  That did the trick.

I think that the machine locked up after the port finished running, but 
before I got around to readying what was on the screen.  So after 
re-boot I found it installed and active (according to the port command), 
but that apparently does not mean it is running.  Curious difference, that.

Anyway, after adding a symbolic link to my directory there is joy in 
Mudville!

Thanks, again, to all who helped me along.
