Under certain circumstances, macports actually already requires you to install certain ports in post the base install in order to be able to function : cd $prefix/var/macports/sources mkdir -p svn.macports.org/trunk/dports cd svn.macports.org/trunk/dports svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/ . nano /macportstest/etc/macports/sources.conf pro17:dports root# port -d sync DEBUG: Copying /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist to /macportstest/var/macports/home/Library/Preferences ---> Updating the ports tree Synchronizing local ports tree from file:///macportstest/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/ DEBUG: /usr/bin/svn update --non-interactive /macportstest/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports DEBUG: changing euid/egid - current euid: 0 - current egid: 0 svn: The path '/macportstest/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports' appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater working copy.
