Have you yet enabled the launchd script? The instructions from  
MacPorts should have instructed you to issue `sudo launchctl load - 
w ...`, since, by default, launchd scripts are disabled and 'load -w'  
enables them.

I seem to recall the "nothing found to load" error message being  
reported for scripts with <key>Disabled</key><true/>.
