I don’t, so it’s not that.

I figured out what the problem was.  /etc/zshenv on Mac OS X Mountain
Lion calls a utility called path_helper.  I for some reason only
checked /etc/profile.  I don’t quite see why MacPort’s zsh checks
/etc/zshenv instead of /opt/local/etc/zshenv (is this hard coded
behavior in Zsh?), but there you go.  Oh, and why /etc/zshenv in Mac
OS X Mountain Lion modifies path in this way is way beyond me.  In my
world, that’d go into /etc/zprofile.
