administrator privileges required to use
1. Login as non-admin user
2. Attempt to install anything
Prompted for password, but that's not going to work. In my case we
need both a username and a password.
In my case I have a separate admin account. The admin account can
"sudo" without password.
I have keys set up so the following command works
ssh ad...@localhost port selfupdate
or whatever else I want to do. Normally I just open a terminal
session as admin, but sometimes I like to be able to save a step.
No password prompts, the commands happen.

There is a limitation of Leopard's sudo, which prevents from using
sudo with different account.
I have the feeling though that, what you said is doable, but not from
the command line (and this was another project idea from me).
Try to do something like
ssh ad...@localhost LOCATION_OF_CAFEPORTS/CafePorts.app/Contents/MacOS/
JavaApplicationStub
this should do the trick.
To allow zero-length passwords in sudo, you need to download version
0.0.9.1

which I just prepared!
