Yes. My primary (only) ports tree is a clone of the git repo. in a sub-directory of my home area.

Oberon ~/Projects > ls -lth

Oberon ~/Projects/MacPorts > ls -lth ports/science/root6/Portfile

Works just fine. e.g.

Oberon ~/Projects/MacPorts > sudo port -d sync

I can edit, maintain, interact with git,  the ports under ~/Projects/Macports/ports using my regular user account, no sudo required.

Oberon ~/Projects/MacPorts/ports > git status
