It has always been intended that the macports user have minimal
privileges. That means it can't read your files unless you give it
permission.

All parent directories also need to have appropriate permissions. Adding
o+x should suffice I think. That does give search permission on your
home directory to everyone, not just macports, of course. Alternatives
include putting the repo somewhere outside your home directory, or using
ACLs.
