If there is no way to build MacPorts on a Linux system
I'm going to guess that many ports contain OS X specific patches, much like FreeBSD Ports do. Unless there's an easy way to turn such patches off, you're going to run into problems building packages.
My suggestion would be to create a chroot on your system containing an environment meeting your needs. IMO the best Linux package system available is Debian's; you could create a debian (or debian-derived distro) chroot with "debootstrap", and install packages as needed. If you must build packages from source, then perhaps a Gentoo chroot is better.
If you go this route, take a look at 'schroot'. It lets you set permissions and run programs per-chroot, so you could run:
$ schroot -p /bin/ls to run 'ls' within your default chroot.However, if anyone is running MacPorts on Linux / BSD, I'd be interested in their experiences!
Good luck! --Andrew
