On asking how one registers to submit a ticket when there are no apparant
text entry fields to register when I attempted it at:
https://trac.macports.org/auth/login/?next=/newticket

This gave me a clue why it doesn't work for me using the lynx browser.
Taking a quick look under the hood for the html coding for that url found
it uses java script. Lynx doesn't use java script, thus even the text
fields to register don't appear.
I'm a blind computer user who prefers lynx because it is a text only
browser; for obvious reasons.
The register function and any others at the macports site can be
accomplished using standard non-java coding. Perhaps some thought should
be given this.
