The servers are running Tiger, but have curl installed via MP, so this shouldnt be a problem unless /usr/bin is hardcoded for this? Or am I missing the issue?

One of these things would be how we would push files on the mirror?
If we keep master_sites we could use something like `port fetch all'
in a cronjob or in a post-commit hook. But that will have the
problem that it currently port fetch will not remove old distfiles.
So this would need improvement.
Alternatively committers would have to upload there files manually
which would be more work for them and also more error-prone.

1. I think doing a "port fetch all" is just fine - it will skip the
fetch step for ports which already have their distfiles in place (we
can even add a little extra logic to stick them somewhere other than
in ${prefix}/var/macports/distfiles for the mirroring case) and
doesn't involve a lot of extra work on our part. The only thing we'll
need to make sure of is that our timeout logic is genuinely robust
since we don't want a single hanging fetch to scrog the entire mirror
run, ditto for our failed fetch logic - we don't want partial
distfiles to get left lying around, but both of those are things we
should have working well anyway.

Before fetching all the files, it would probably nice to fix the
timestamps so that they correctly reflect the upstream distfile ?

The --remote-time feature is added, but disabled due to the
old and buggy version of libcurl that is present in Tiger...
