OK, I did (And read some more about $PATH):

Jaspers-MacBook-Pro:~ jasper$
/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py
-bash: /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py:
Permission denied
Jaspers-MacBook-Pro:~ jasper$ sudo
/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py
sudo: /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py:
command not found

No, it did not unfortunately. So I guess there are other issues..

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2009-10-20_at_13:11:20: adding an

Yes that is what I will have to do.

Yes I will. Normally do so, but forgot to last night...

Well symlink as in:

A symbolic link path2 is created to path1 (path2 is the name of the file
created, path1 is the string
     used in creating the symbolic link).  Either name may be an arbitrary
path name; the files need not be
     on the same file system.

would be good but the real path does not seem to work either:
