I installed with MacPorts and let MacPorts take care of everything.

Normally those sorts of errors are logged by the command that I'm using. Here's an example:

WARNING: Can't open file /Users/mnewman/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist: Operation not permitted

The four errors I got with yesterday's scan were not logged, so I have no idea what they were.

I've looked through there and don't find anything about logging errors. Could you help by letting me know what I should change?
