• Some software (especially auto* tools from Gnu) look in /usr/local as
a default location
• /usr/local tends to be a bad choice to have taken over by a
non-system port system
• gcc considers /usr/local to be a standard system directory, causing
(at least) the include directory to be unable to appear early in the list of
include directories, and hence causing MacPorts-installed items to be difficult
to use properly for items which need them (where another version is installed
elsewhere, like/usr/X11R6)

It isn't explicitly stated but it is implied.
