"/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.Squid.plist" is installed as a 
symlink pointing to 
"${prefix}/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.Squid/org.macports.Squid.plist". 
What do you mean exactly by "I put the plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons"?

All you should need to do after installation is run `sudo launchctl load 
-w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.Squid.plist`. Then squid should 
be launched immediately and thereafter at boot time.

Looks like the squid wrapper script is being called as a non-root user. 
I'm not sure why that would be the case.
