Yes, you need at least 1.600 for this. The ports tree is only compatible
with the latest released MacPorts version.

You left the important part out here. What was the error message in
"..."? You could also try to run "sudo port -d selfupgrade" to get more
verbose output.
I remember there was on error in the released 1.6.0 which prevented
building on Panther. But instead of re-releasing 1.6.0, the patches were
incorporated into the MacPorts port to allow building PKG installers.
Did they also make their way onto the rsync server?
