What am I forgetting?

One detail just came to my mind.

In your clone, make sure the 'origin' remote is the main macports one, 
and not some other clone. This helps make things run a bit smoother. You 
can then have as many other remotes as you want, for various forks. e.g. 
I (currently) have

Titan ~/Projects/MacPorts/ports > git remote -v
cjones	git at github.com:cjones051073/macports-ports.git (fetch)
cjones	git at github.com:cjones051073/macports-ports.git (push)
giansalvo	git at github.com:giansalvo/macports-ports.git (fetch)
giansalvo	git at github.com:giansalvo/macports-ports.git (push)
herbygillot	git at github.com:herbygillot/macports-ports.git (fetch)
herbygillot	git at github.com:herbygillot/macports-ports.git (push)
michaelld	git at github.com:michaelld/macports-ports.git (fetch)
michaelld	git at github.com:michaelld/macports-ports.git (push)
origin	git at github.com:macports/macports-ports.git (fetch)
origin	git at github.com:macports/macports-ports.git (push)
yan	git at github.com:yan12125/macports-ports.git (fetch)
yan	git at github.com:yan12125/macports-ports.git (push)

so 'origin' is the primary source, and the others are either my own 
fork, or others I have added to work with feature branches now and then.
