I've run into this problem a couple of times. The latest incident is with install of wine. It requires fontforge which I installed "by hand" in its default location of /usr/local/bin/

how do I impart that path to port?

You don't. MacPorts is designed to use its own libraries, not those you have installed in /usr/local or anywhere else. Please see:

wine used to declare a dependency on fontforge, until it was explained to me that wine does not actually require fontforge, so I removed the dependency. Please see:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17671

If you have justification for bringing the fontforge dependency back, I'm all ears.
