If you used "su" instead of "sudo" (this includes the shell anti-pattern
"sudo su" / "sudo su -"; don't do that. Use "su -s" or "su -i", that's what
they're there for.) then you're tripping over a change Apple made to root's
environment. And yes, running it directly will work, because Apple put
something else in that makes it work interactively, but the build
environment is sanitized and thereby loses it. There is a workaround for
this change in the (as yet unreleased) trunk revision of MacPorts, but the
correct answer is "don't use su on OS X".
