Yep. That's subject to the same conditions I enumerated in my previous email. 
If group read or write permissions aren't set in a source archive (or by tclsh) 
it doesn't help much.

I do try to keep /opt/local in the admin group, with write access for group, 
though.

I don't know about you, but I 1) don't like to have to type the same word 
everytime and 2) don't want to become used to prefixing every command with 
sudo, because one day I'm going to edit a previous command to do something 
"somewhere dangerous" and wipe out stuff. It happens I do a `rm -rf ./*` in a 
MacPorts working directory. I'd hate to repeat that command when I happen to be 
(say) somewhere under /System and forget there's a sudo before it...
