f-p-p already does this for dylibs, but they have predictable extensions so that's easy. Executables typically don't have any extension so the only way to find them is to scan every installed file to see if it's executable. It might be reasonable to scan perl and python modules though since they have a known location and extension. I've looked at xml-sax-expat-pm and xml-sax-pm and don't see where they would pick up /opt/local. However, the xml-sax suite has always been a bit fragile and it's also possible that something from MacPorts changed something in the environment that got picked up. It could also be from somewhere further down the line of dependencies. There is a newer upstream xml-sax-pm that I'll look into updating to, not that that will necessarily help.
