Broken install on new SnowLeopard machine with MacPorts-1.9.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg

[Scott Webster]

I "run" macports as a regular user... but when I want to run the port
command I first "su" to an admin account and then run the port
commands with sudo.  As far as I know macports requires full
privileges to work properly.  Likely you could get something working
fully as non-admin by installing from source and changing some
options, but the installer assumes you want to put it in /opt/local
etc.
