Comment (by jhi@…):

 Replying to [comment:10 leonardo.schenkel@…]:
 > OK, I checked your log and I think I have a wrong understanding of what
 `${install.user}` actually means. I have done an alternative approach: I
 have introduced a new variant `+homespool`, which you should manually
 activate when running `port install` without root. This flag will be
 preserved on upgrades, so you only need to remember to activate it
 manually when you install the package for the first time.

 > If I figure out later how to do it properly (I'll need to ask around), I
 may be able to enable this variant automatically for cases like yours when
 you aren't running MacPorts with `sudo`. But you will always be able to
 enable this yourself, so hopefully that should suffice.

 With the +homespool variant, install works.
