You cannot safely run any of MacPorts, Fink, or Homebrew with any of the
others installed, unless you are very careful about moving the others'
trees to non-obvious locations when installing a package in one of them.
(Only partly true for Fink since it's typically binary packages, but it can
still screw up the others.) This is not really a bug, more a fact of life:
if any of them try to use anything installed by the others, you end up with
a complete mess. (Just try convincing ALL the upstream packages to not
search anywhere they can think of for their dependencies. We all try, often
unsuccessfully; configure is just too smart/persistent.)

I'm surprised MacPorts didn't complain about /usr/local. Maybe you haven't
tried to install anything yet?
