 `port distfiles` shouldn't require root access to run, since it's only
 displaying information:

 {{{
 $ port distfiles apache2
 Error: Unable to execute port:
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_www_apache2/work/.macports.apache2.state
 is not writable - check permission on port directory
 $
 }}}
