I think it would be helpful to change something on Part 5 of the macports install page:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts

It says:

Open a terminal window.
Execute the MacPorts selfupdate command.
port selfupdate
or for verbose output:
port -d selfupdate


Adding "sudo" would help us newbies and make it a pleasurable experience:

Open a terminal window.
Execute the MacPorts selfupdate command.
sudo port selfupdate
or for verbose output:
sudo port -d selfupdate


Without the "sudo" one gets:
rsync: mkstemp "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/devel/subversion- javahlbindings/.Portfile.oow5Yw" failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: mkstemp "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/python/py- fpconst/.Portfile.16crKY" failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: mkstemp "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/python/py25-mx- experimental/.Portfile.8Cp6g4" failed: Permission denied (13)
