Can you provide the exact line required for installation? I don't use MacPorts except that long ago you told me how to install it. Maybe we should put the instructions for installing MacPorts into the INSTALL doc and wiki page? I think that's how I magically got a bunch of the other requirements, but really I have no idea.
