I then reran my gnucash install line, and had problems creating

to ~destroot/opt/local/lib/qt3/lib, and nothing was matching the

was looking for had actually been built in
~destroot/private/opt/local/lib, so I moved it over, convinced
archive to rerun with some difficulty*, and all was happy.  I
have no idea why it was building the libraries in
~destroot/private/opt/..., since it built everything else in
~destroot/opt/..., but there it was.

Why is your /opt inside /private? That should not be. Perhaps you installed the Cisco VPN client and it screwed up your MacPorts? Please see:

This used to be in the FAQ but was removed two months ago, apparently because Cisco fixed their VPN client. But maybe you used an older version.
