Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 Out of curiosity, what does the sandboxing feature do, other than
 preventing access if there are symlinks in the prefix?

 It's a pity OS X doesn't have mount --bind, but I'm starting to consider
 rather seriously to move the whole tree to a ZFS dataset that I'd mount on
 /opt/local. The only thing holding me back is the fact that those do not
 currently allow SpotLight indexing, something which does come in handy
 rather frequently to find specific MacPorts files ...
