The instructions that Ryan sent you [for setting up the PATH] to aren't optional. MacPorts is not guaranteed to work without that (indeed, without the right PATH, nothing will work properly).
Well setting up the PATH is optional, I'd say. But without it, you'll have to type the complete path to all MacPorts binaries that you want to use. MacPorts itself should still function, and all ports should still build, because MacPorts internally sets the PATH to include ${prefix}/ bin and ${prefix}/sbin (right?) for the duration of the build.
