That command works for me everywhere. I suspect the problem might be
that you don't have the MacPorts directories in your path.
What's the output of the following command:
echo $PATH
For comparison purposes my path begins with:
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin
which are the MacPorts executable directories. The port executable is in
/opt/local/bin.
If this is indeed your problem, look to
http://www.macports.org/install.php#source
for a discussion of what your path needs to contain.
http://www.oreillynet.com/lpt/a/4641
briefly mentions how to set your path (under the heading "Customizing
Your Environment").
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2621/os_x_change_path_environment_variable
is a longer discussion of same.
