I updated to Mountain Lion without having ever had Xcode (or MacPorts) on my 
target machine.

I installed Xcode via the App Store, and note that it is version 4.4.

Also, anyone downloading Xcode from the App Store should also note that the App 
Store provides no option to select to also download and install the Command 
Line Tools, which is why -- when I tried a fresh install from MacPorts source 
-- I ran into

        no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

Completion of the Xcode install that is required by MacPorts (via App Store 
download), requires another step. An Admin user needs to launch Xcode and go 
into File > Preferences and, under the Downloads pane, select to install the 
Command Line Tools. When you click Install, you are prompted to enter an Apple 
Developer ID and password, however the free (no charge) account which I had 
established some time ago was accepted and after a few minutes the status of 
the Command Line Tools was updated to "Installed".

I was then successful, under MacPorts -2.1.2 and after exiting Terminal and 
re-opening it, to run

        .configure
        make
        sudo make install
