Yes... the MIN_USABLE_UID / MIN_USABLE_GID configure script variables are
referenced in src/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.c, which gets compiled into a library,
which gets loaded by MacPorts. To change those values, the library will have to
be recompiled. You can either change the values in the configure script before
you run it (or in the configure.ac file, and then regenerate the configure
script by using autoreconf), or else you can edit the values in the
src/config.h file after you run configure.
There may be a way to influence the values of these variables by passing
autoconf variables as flags to the configure script when you run it, but in a
brief test I was not able to find it.
