And FYI, you can figure this out, by searching all portfiles for the
string "applications_dir", which is the MacPorts variable which by
default has the value /Applications/MacPorts (though the user can
change it in macports.conf). To search all portfiles for this, you
could do:
cd $(port dir MacPorts)/../..
grep applications_dir */*/Portfile
There are also still some ports that hardcode /Applications/MacPorts.
These ports should be updated to use the ${applications_dir} variable.
To find these ports:
cd $(port dir MacPorts)/../..
grep /Applications/MacPorts */*/Portfile
