Thank you everyone who has addressed my question. I regret that the fixes do
not seem to work. Here is what I did:
1) I deleted all of macports and the ported software following the uninstall
directions in macports documentation (the idea being to start as close as
possible to my friend's computer that successfully installed FEniCS).
2) I reinstalled a new version macports and installed only what is needed by
dorsal. This failed because swig-python has a bug that doesn't install pcre.
Porting pcre and then swig-python fixes that problem.
3) I edited platforms/supported/snowleopard.platform and added
default
LAPACKANDBLAS_DIR=/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/088/Frameworks/mkl/Libraries/em64t
to try to get a good LAPACK and BLAS
4) I edited packages/dolfin.package and dolfin-stable.package as suggested by
Dr Ring and added
CONFOPTS="-DMETIS_LIBRARY=${INSTALL_PATH}/lib/libmetis.a"
5) I reinstalled a fresh version of FEniCS
6) I then got the following error message during the configuring of petsc

Thats odd because mpif.h exists in petsc's own directory structure but the
location seems empty....
7) So I installed openmpi using macports (I need this for another project
anyway). I note that by this time there are metis libraries in /opt/local/lib
and in ~/FEniCS/lib. Then I remade a fresh version of FEniCS. This time
dorsal.sh completed without an obvious failure. I tried the poisson demo in
python and got

So I regret that the suggested fixes don't seem to work. The problem seems to
center around petsc.
Thanks again
Peter
