I as understand it, appending /opt/local/bin to the path works fine

So you're saying that if we append prefix to the path we might have
build issues that we wouldn't have if we prepend. That's a good
argument.
No, I'm saying that for interactive use it usually doesn't matter
that /opt/local is appended. But when building new Ports, we probably
do want /opt/local first in the path -- however MacPorts should
probably prepend $prefix to PATH during builds regardless of whether
path_helper is used or not.
