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?
