Comment (by adrinux@…):

 That thing where you find something wrong, search and find out you've both
 had the problem before and posted a solution :/
 Just discovered macports is once again set to use group id 20 on my box.
 {{{
 dscl -q . -read /Groups/macports
 AppleMetaNodeLocation: /Local/Default
 GeneratedUID: 00878EA3-A881-47A2-BDB1-9258F20022C2
 PrimaryGroupID: 20
 RecordName: macports
 RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Groups
 }}}

 This time I just changed the macports GID instead. List all IDs so we can
 choose one that's not in use
 {{{
 dscl . -list /Groups PrimaryGroupID
 }}}
 Then I changed macports id from 20 to 502, and changed the macports users
 PrimaryGroupID to the same number, 502 in my case.
 {{{
 sudo dscl -q . -create /Groups/macports PrimaryGroupID 502
 sudo dscl -q . -create /Users/macports PrimaryGroupID 502
 }}}
