Exactly - my system is set to verbose booting, and I can clearly see the complaint about all of MacPorts' Launch* plists not existing (they're symlinked from /Library/Launch* to /opt/local/Library/Launch*, with /opt/local itself being a symlink to a 2nd partition on my boot disk).

Maybe it'd be possible to trigger the mounting of local partitions through launchd ... assuming one can control the order in which launchd scripts are executed?
