I did this for PHP or sqlite3 but db48 use a binary package 
(db48-4.8.30_4.darwin_16.x86_64.tbz2). I tryed to put it in 
/opt/local/var/macports/software with the same directory structure / 
rights than other packages. I will try to fetch the distfile and put it 
in the distfiles/ directory and see if this solves my problem.

Thanks
Guillaume
