What the F.
Turns out the install is *removing* my /opt symlink, which
points at private/opt.
Why is the new installer removing my symlink? That's none of its

Thank you for letting us know about this problem. I can reproduce it,
and have filed a ticket:
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21082
Now we just need to do some testing to find out what broke this, so
that we can fix it. A test script is attached to the ticket, so
somebody just needs to go through and do the testing.
