If MacPorts needs a user account that doesn't exist it creates it with the next available UID. If matching UIDs between systems are important to you you can precreate users on the second system with UIDs matching those on the first system. MacPorts doesn't contain any code to help you do that so you'll be writing it yourself. MacPorts contains no code that keeps track of what users have been created either so you'll need to figure that out too.
