+These instructions have been liberally copied [http://fernandofig.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/ntfs-write-support-on-osx-lion-with-ntfs-3g-f/ from this excellent blog post]. 
+
+=== Step 1. Install the ntfs-3g port. ===
+{{{
+sudo port install ntfs-3g
+}}}
+
+=== Step 2. Find out your userid and groupid. ===
+User ID:
+{{{
+id -u
+}}}
+Group ID:
+{{{
+id -g
+}}}
+
+=== Step 3. Use a modified mount_ntfs executable and save the OS X original to {{{/sbin/mount_ntfs.orig}}} ===
+{{{
+sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig
+sudo touch /sbin/mount_ntfs
+sudo chmod 0755 /sbin/mount_ntfs
+sudo chown 0:0 /sbin/mount_ntfs
+sudo nano /sbin/mount_ntfs
+}}}
+
+Then paste in the following code and save it by typing Control-X and pressing "Y". NOTE:
+  - You can optionally substitute in your User ID and Group ID (from Step 2 above) in place of 501 and 20 in lines 4 and 5 below. 
+  - This script also assumes the standard Macports install location of {{{/opt/local/}}} so you will need to modify it if yours is different.
