Conversely, you can add the appropriate lines to launchd.conf and get things going.
more /etc/launchd.conf launchctl load /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.dbus/ org.macports.dbus.p list launchctl load /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/ org.macports.apa che2.plist launchctl load /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/ org.macports.mysq l5.plist
I would vote for MacPorts to take the latter approach, with the post-install message explaining that
######## ## To get the application to run at boot time, ## echo launchctl load /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.mysql5/org.macports.mysql5.plist >> /etc/launchd.conf ## ##########
Feel free to make a proposal to the macports-dev list if you feel strongly about this. The current approach works, so you should explain why your approach is better (and if there are any reasons why it might be worse).
