I'm not sure what this "usual rights context" means.  Macports (the  
new name of darwinports) allows
installation in directories controlled by the user without root  
privileges.  I know of at least one
case where this is used by students to install ghc on their own  
systems.  For a system-wide installation,
hugs can be installed using root privileges through the sudo command,  
as in

	sudo port hugs98 install

I support hugs under macports, so you can copy your questions to me.

If you can specify more completely what the problem is, perhaps I can  
help.

Best Wishes,
Greg
