well, the user and group of the 'port' process, but yeah, for install/ 
activate that's usually going to be root.

so use xinstall instead of file copy

you can't do it in destroot, because destroot should only put files in  
the destroot (all the files in the destroot 'belong' to the port and  
will get replaced on upgrade, you have to do this post-activate  
because you specifically want these files to not 'belong' to the port  
so that macports doesn't ever touch them).
