All port files are in /opt/local by default, unless you change that  
path to somewhere else.  You should have the file ~/.profile which  
will have altered your PATH to include /opt/local.

Mine looks like this:
# MacPorts Installer addition on 2009-02-24_at_21:16:33: adding an  
appropriate PATH var
iable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
# Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with  
MacPorts.

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2009-02-24_at_21:16:33: adding an  
appropriate MANPATH
variable for use with MacPorts.
export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH
# Finished adapting your MANPATH environment variable for use with  
MacPorts.

If you do not have this file, you should read the docs on how to  
repair this issue
