Personally I have never moved /usr/local in regards to any operation I
have ever carried out with Mac Ports & I've suffered no ill effects.

Also I still do, on occasion, install certain things into /usr/local for
various reasons & that again has never interfered with anything in
/opt/local.

I am very careful however that I take into account what goes where &
what possible conflicts may arise with this arrangement & have daily
dealings with similar set-ups with apt & yum on different OS's.

Cheers,

  Phil..
