If your app requires external libraries, the Apple Way would be to  
include those external libraries within your application bundle as  
relocatable frameworks. I'm sure there must be a wealth of  
documentation available on that topic from Apple and others. But it  
is not something that MacPorts is designed to help you with. MacPorts  
installs non-relocatable libraries and programs into a particular  
prefix, by default /opt/local, changeable at compile time but not  
otherwise.
