Does port(1) clean out $PATH ??
yes.
If you look at /opt/local/etc/ports/ports.conf, at the bottom is a list of environment variables to keep. You may want to try setting that to PATH.
That won't work. macports' PATH is set to "${prefix}/bin:${prefix}/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/ usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin" unless 'binpath' is set in the ports.conf file.
