I'll move /opt/local aside, as you and Paul Beard suggest. But I have the impression that quite a number of non-macports packages want to be placed in /opt/local, and even do so without asking permission. So this could conflict with what you say about MacPorts wanting to keep /opt/local/ to itself. I have certainly been advised by people who know a lot more about software than I do, that downloaded software should go into /opt/local/.
