As to other ports, most of them probably do not explicitly mention / sw in their configure scripts.

I'm sure it's a tricky situation for software developers: if they do add paths like /sw and /opt/local to their configure scripts, they make it easy for people to install their software manually and get dependencies from a package manager. However, by doing this, they make it more difficult to add their software to that package manager...

Alas, /usr/local/ is where I have most of the stuff (much "legacy") I'm working with daily. Having to rename /sw and /usr/local before (sometimes lengthy) upgrading or installing in Macports would be a major inconvenience.
