Correct; MacPorts installs into /opt/local, not /usr/local.

Just be aware that it is not supported to have anything in /usr/local while
installing anything with MacPorts because things in /usr/local can interfere.
Some ports like db46 check for this but most don't and will just fail in
strange ways. I recommend you get rid of what's in /usr/local, if possible, and
install any software you need using MacPorts instead.
