<div>Thanks. I have rerun the installer and run upgrade outdated and it is not complaining about the user. So, perhaps the installation is sane now.</div>

Just installing macports via the installer dmg will do it, without disrupting installed ports (but again, you will have disrupted some of those anyway through missing their startupitems etc.).<br clear="all">
