If you just have a one-off command you want to run in the secondary 
installation, you could call it by its full path, e.g. /somewhere/bin/port. If 
you're settling down for lots of work in the secondary installation, you could 
"export PATH=/somewhere/bin:$PATH" in your terminal, but when I do that, I get 
confused about which terminal window has what set. You could change that 
terminal window's color to remind you it's different.
