But if you do this, make sure you are *not* using a MacPorts installation whose 
prefix is /opt/local, because that will interfere with users who already do 
have MacPorts installed, or those who may install it in the future. Instead, 
build MacPorts from source in a different prefix, one chosen specifically for 
the thing you are packaging. For DIA, /opt/dia could be a good choice.
