You can place downloaded tarballs into ${prefix}/var/macports/
distfiles/${name} where ${prefix} is usually /opt/local and ${name}
is the name of the port you're trying to install.

The installer tries to run a selfupdate. This requires an Internet
connection. I believe this has already been changed in trunk to no
longer be a fatal error. We just haven't had another release of
MacPorts since then.
There is a bug in the 1.6.0 installer where the paths do not get set
up correctly in your environment so you must do it manually. This has
already been fixed in trunk.
