Hi, I got into the same trouble when upgrading my MacBook Pro to
leopard 10.5.6 from latest tiger:

It looks like the problem is in the activation stage of the new
package:

I tried to install macfuse (old version though) via MacPorts: sudo
port -v install macfuse
 and got this complaint:
--->  Activating macfuse @1.7_1
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /Library/
Frameworks/MacFUSE.framework/Headers already exists and does not
belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port macfuse

Then I removed the MacFuse.framework directory, tried to complete port
install again, and now I got a complaint about the odd fusefs symlink
in /Library/Filesystems/
--->  Activating macfuse @1.7_1
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: can't create directory "/
Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs": file already exists
Warning: the following items did not execute (for macfuse):
org.macports.activate

Then I removed this symlink, and re-executed the port install , and
now it worked ok! Hence, my next step was to download and install the
MacFUSE-2.0.3,2.dmg which now also worked ok, showing up as installed
in System preferences and everything :-)

So I suppose, if you remove the MacFUSE.framework directory and that
fusefs.fs symlink you may be able to install the dmg without the
MacPorts installation, although I haven´t tested this myself.

Hope this helps you guys out...
