I am fuzzy on the details, but one of the changes in catalina (as a way to implement SIP) is that the main is mounted twice, one mount point is read only and if one is accessimg /opt via the wrong mountpoint, wrting is prohibited. I also use MacPorts under catalina without problems, but that does not preclude that special procedures are needed to access /opt.
