The real issue: why is stuff in /opt/local being owned by non-root? I think that is the issue with why cups won't load the backend.

Installing the cups-pdf port and following the instructions printed at the end of the port install command produced a working CUPS-PDF printer for me.

*************************************************************
If this is the first installation, there are a couple of items to do:
-  First, symlinks in /usr are needed for CUPS to see cups-pdf, so run
   (it will run sudo so may ask for your password):
      /opt/local/libexec/cups-pdf_links.sh
-  Edit /opt/local/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf as needed
-  Finally, tell cupsd to update (it may not be running on 10.5+):
      sudo killall -1 cupsd
