OK, I installed dbus using +no_startupitem+no_root. Thank you all for
the pointers to these variants.
No such luck, however, with the postgresql90-server port. This port
is basically uninstallable without root privileges. This is highly
annoying to someone who has done dozens of PostgreSQL

Sorry for the ignorant question: what exactly is the portfile?
Thanks,

That's because all it does is install the startupitem/launchd script (and set
up the postgres user and group).
This is highly
It's the list of instructions that tells your computer how to compile and
install a port.
See http://guide.macports.org/#development and the next section as well. See

I've read the manual enough to discover that it doesn't tell you how
to find a port's portfile... Where is it? What is it called?
Should one have to read the entire manual just to find this out?

If I run (zsh):

there is no file with extension .tcl and post anywhere in the path.

Greetings;
Wondering why Gimp or any program available as a dmg, such as the Gedit too
that recently came up in discussion, is still even in MacPorts. Why would
one still want to launch it through a shell as an X app when it can be had
natively in Aqua?
Thanks,

As an easy way to get all of gimp when you want to compile and run gimp
plugins, for example.
And as long as there is no official download of Gimp people might want to do it
themselves.
And Gimp is not really available in Aqua AFAIK.
The one available is really old and no newer dmg

Atlas also seems to be the source of a lot of recent build

I'll just make a general comment, that, in my understanding, MacPorts
is generally intended to be installed with root permissions. There
are some attempts made to make it possible to work without them, but
with only a limited amount of volunteer time spent maintaining things,
it isn't the top

Two helpful man pages.
