I am a first time MacPorts user. How do I fix this so I can launch the HomeBank application, or have it show up in the MacPorts folder of the applications folder.


I don't use HomeBank, so I don't know the details. However, only native 
Cocoa apps wil install an .app bundle inside the MacPorts folder. E.g. 
emacs, gimp do that if they are compiled in the "+quartz" variant. Other 
apps if not Mac native will have their own launch method which will not 
be as straight-forward.
