Sorry. Maybe I should have said, "the default *nix $PATH". I don't know about others.

OTOH, here's my user $PATH on 10.7.3: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games.

I'd always assumed that MacPorts put itself in /opt/local so there wouldn't be a problem with libs and bins that had the same names on the *nix systems they were originally written for. I thought that was very clever of them.
