1) create a directory somewhere called 'clisp'

2) copy the Portfile to the directory

3) from the 'clisp' directory issue the following command

     osx$ sudo port -D . -v install

The '-D .' tells port to use the Portfile in the current directory; the 
'sudo' is the elevation of privileges necessary in the default 
installation of MacPorts.

Unfortunately, when I tried the Portfile this morning, the configure 
phases failed when it tried to link with the 64bit version of 
libsigsegv.  Maybe building with the '+nolibsigsegv' variant would work, 
but I ran out of time to try this.

If you are merely looking for a Common Lisp from MacPorts on Snow 
Leopard, both 'ecl' and 'abcl' are currently working.
