 I did this manually a few weeks ago by looking at the MacPorts makefile,
 and this definitely cleared things up. My machine's user account has been
 migrated over the years from OS X Panther. I suspect the macports user
 account and group got created a long time ago from an early form of
 MacPorts and ended up with a group ID of 20, which is also used for staff.
 For some reason, Mavericks resolves the duplicate ID dilemma differently
 than previous versions of OX X and so I was never really aware of it. But
 once I cleaned up the user ID and group ID so that they were unique,
 things now behave themselves.
