Description
Just as the title says, the macfuse port assumes that MacPorts is installed in the default location, /opt/local. I have an unusual setup with MacPorts installed in /Software/MacPorts and other unix-like software packages installed in /Software/*.prefix so I can easily remove them without having to hunt for files. Unfortunately this means MacFUSE goes in the wrong folder and doesn't end up in my path. :)
I would try to fix this myself and submit a patch, but I'm not really sure about the proper use of for instance install_name_tool. I'm kind of afraid to break things with it...

macfuse.2.patch doesn't work if prefix is "/usr/local". After the build, it is untarred, and then there's a line in the destroot that deletes usr/local, so the subsequent commands fail to operate on the files that were just removed!

It is not supported for ${prefix} to be /usr/local. Use some other prefix for MacPorts.

I filed #18602 to prevent installation of MacPorts with the prefix /usr/local.

Since the maintainer hasn't responded to this issue, I committed the patch in r47182, with a slight modification to delete ${destpath}${prefix} before untarring the built software. This should allow it to work if ${prefix} is /usr/local. However, having prefix set to /usr/local is still unsupported and other ports will probably also be broken under such a setup. Don't expect MacPorts to continue to allow using prefix /usr/local.
