You tried what? Making your own installer from MacPorts? —The ones I do install 
in /opt/lilypond/, and you use /opt/lilypond/ it looked like. The location I 
use is suggested by the FHS (file hierarchy standard) and Werner.

One issue is that /opt/lilypond/bin/ must be in PATH, otherwise some programs 
like 'gs' will not be called.

I can post the steps I use to make the installer if you so want.

It might be of interest if you try making a universal installer, but it would 
likely involve getting touch with the MacPorts people for help.
