You should already be able to do the usual
    sudo port selfupdate
    sudo port install audacity

The app gets installed to /Applications/MacPorts/Audacity.app (unless
you installed MacPorts from source and configured it differently) plus
a few extra files under /opt/local. I guess your other app is in
/Applications/Audacity.app, so it shouldn't conflict. And even if it
would conflict (if you would install manually inside
/Applications/MacPorts/), MacPorts should throw an error and tell you
that activation of the port failed.

Feedback welcome.
