That likely installed it into /usr/local.

MacPorts would have then installed the fuse4x port (or the macfuse port, if you hadn't selfupdated in awhile) but probably encountered a conflict with the macfuse you installed manually.

This probably also went into /usr/local and confused MacPorts.

If you're happy with that, then that's fine, but we cannot offer assistance for MacPorts installations on computers that also have things installed in /usr/local.
