Whether the application files are placed in /opt by MacPorts, or /Applications by the user has no bearing on the location of the data files. Those are usually placed in the user's folders.

This doesn’t sound right.


I use MacPorts, and MacPorts puts all if its files under /opt. I haven’t seen ant references on the MacPorts mailing list to /opt being reserved under SIP.

It might be worth asking why OP is using /opt for their data files in the first place. It is more usual for users to place their personal files in the /users hierarchy (i.e., ~/).

It seems that maybe the /opt directory tree is being restricted by 
what OSX called System Integrity Protection.

Try following the steps to turn off SIP here:

If not, please open a terminal window and supply the output of the 
command "ls -lR /opt".
