Best Practices: creating alternate user account to use MacPorts in?

What are best practices in sandboxing MacPorts to a non-admin user account
and still retaining the ability to use XQuartz?
For instance, I would like to invoke all applications as a certain user,
without administrative privileges, however at the same time still be able
to use XQuartz graphically from my privileged account. I was hoping XQuartz
could be installed specific to this non-admin user as well. Unsure if such
isolation is possible.
I'm doing some sandbox testing. I see a 'macports' user, however in my
first installation many of the files in /opt/local are owned by root. I
was hoping to install a specific to a user account for all MacPorts.
