Some progress: the pre-install tests work, but I suspect the port 
install process is not going to let me configure:  The error message I 
get is:
--------

sudo port install
--->  Computing dependencies for pyraf
--->  Configuring pyraf
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell 
command " cd 
"/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_dcnicholls_python_pyraf/work/pyraf-1.8.1" 
&& ./configure --prefix=/opt/local " returned error 127
Command output: sh: ./configure: No such file or directory

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
-------

The /opt/local/var/macports... directory does exist, so I presume the 
problem lies with the ./configure --prefix step

Or maybe it's because I'm trying to turn a stand-alone install tar.gz 
file to work with Macports?
