MacPorts @1.9.2 'port upgrade outdated' fails when archive dir is on NFS FS without root access

Description

I have an archive dir on a Linux NFS volume exported with option root_squash, so UID/GID 0,0 is mapped to anonymous. The dir is writable by root from the mac. Installation went fine, all archives were saved in this directory until now.

The problem: 

# port upgrade outdated
Error: Target org.macports.archivefetch returned: lchown: /users/root/OSX/macports/packages/darwin/universal: not owner
Log for ncursesw is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_ncursesw/main.log
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

Explanation: root from the mac is not allowed to chown/lchown directories on this FS (normal Unix/Linux behavior)

Question: Is this lchown necessary?

Workaround: I moved the archive to a local FS.

There's no separate archive dir as of r77511.
