MacPorts should be in /opt/local, not /private/opt/local.

Is it possible that /opt is a symlink to /private/opt? Ancient versions of the 
Cisco VPN installer were known to have moved /opt to /private/opt, then placed 
a symlink at /opt.

This is silly and can cause problems for MacPorts which can't always answer 
"port provides" queries through a symlink.

Assuming I'm right about the above, you should remove the /opt symlink, then 
move /private/opt back to /opt.
