I cannot use rsync because of our firewall. How do I set things up

Ultimately, I would like to be able to 'svn up' to get the latest
portfiles and then be able to use 'port install foo' as usual.
Sure, that works. I do that. You don't need to "svn up" either; "port
sync" will work just fine, even if your ports tree is a Subversion
working copy. You may need the below edit to sources.conf for that to
work:
I got things working somewhat. I downloaded the portfiles using
svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/
dports
and then sym-linked dports to
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports
Ok. You could also have edited the location of your ports tree in /
opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf. For example, I commented out the
line beginning with "rsync://" and added a line pointing to my
working copy. (In my case, "file:///Users/rschmidt/macports/dports")
I can now type
port list
and things work. Installing fails. For example,
sudo port install ghostscript
gives
Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name
"destroot.violate_mtree"
You need to update MacPorts base. We're currently at 1.5.2. However,
"port selfupdate" requires rsync, so you won't be able to use that.
But you can download the MacPorts 1.5.2 source code from the repository:
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/tags/release_1_5_2/base/
And build it yourself with "./configure", "make" and "sudo make install"
