MacPorts is based on several axioms. One of them is that it's based on a tree of its own, by default /opt/local, and it's here to managed everything in this tree.
Another, somewhat different option might be to create a second prefix specifically for programs installed by MacPorts programs. For example, I install MP in /opt/local and use its perl as my main Perl, but I have configured /opt/local/bin/cpan to install CPAN modules into /opt/cpan instead. Perhaps MacPorts should allow you to specify such an "unmanaged tree", and configure things like CPAN and gems to install into it? --dave -- David Glasser | glasser@mit.edu | http://www.davidglasser.net/
