MacPorts and Homebrew

A known pitfall for all is that the OS X native installer package, and
MacPorts build with different install paths, and different library
assumptions. I don't know if Homebrew does it yet differently or is the
same as MacPorts.

This is a constant source of difficultly for users that unwittingly move
between them. I wonder if we could somewhere (HP wiki?) catalog the
differences and a FAQ for handling this.
