Well, /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin are specified twice, and  
don't need to be. Investigate where in your shell init scripts the  
path is being set, and see if you are perhaps adding the MacPorts  
paths to it in two different places. If so, remove one.

You also have /usr/local/bin in your path, and it is not supported to  
have anything in /usr/local/bin (lib, include, etc.) when using  
MacPorts because it can interfere, so I recommend you remove that from  
your path and remove whatever you have in /usr/local/bit (lib,  
include, etc.) as well.
