'make install' has bad instructions — at Initial Version

Description
Installing from source concludes with the message:
Congratulations, you have successfully installed the MacPorts system. To get the Portfiles and update the system, run:
sudo port -v selfupdate
Because the installation just happened, people are unlikely to already have /opt/local/bin in their $PATH, and so that command fails with 'sudo: port: command not found'. Maybe anyone installing from source is smart enough to know what to do, but why offer the command if it's not going to work?
