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
business.

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.
