M-x package-install macports

Configuration

The following variables can be customized in the usual ways (including M-x customize):

• macports-command (default: "port")

  The MacPorts binary. exec-path-from-shell is a great way to make sure Emacs can find your port binary, but alternatively you can modify this variable.

• macports-show-status (default: t)

  Whether to show port counts in the main macports transient.

• macports-use-sudo: (default: t)

  Whether to use sudo when invoking macports-command. Set this to nil if you have a custom MacPorts installation owned by your user.
