You could apply the patch I attached to that ticket, and rebuild  
MacPorts.

I would like to resolve this issue for MacPorts 1.8.2, and am awaiting  
feedback on whether or not this patch should be applied or if there is  
another solution.

Or you could reinstall MacPorts so it's installed as root.
