Comment:

 I think I fixed this in r31522, which will be in our next release. Please
 give it a try at that moment if you can (that is, if you still have that
 old installation and that path with spaces in it) and report back here how
 it goes. Closing ticket.

 PS: Note that the escaping of the spaces is performed only when accessing
 the shell $HOME variable to upgrade the user specific MacPorts conf file,
 but none is performed on any of the other variables in this upgrade code
 as MacPorts itself doesn't really support installing onto paths with
 spaces, as already explained in this ticket.
