It's been a long time since I've used the package installer. What's wrong? What other options are there for installing ports to build some of the networking software that I need?

The 1.6.0 disk image installer packages try to run "port sync" after installation, to update the ports tree. If this fails, the message you encountered is printed.

Is the rsync port blocked on your network? If so, unblock it if possible.

IIRC, MacPorts base has already been changed to no longer consider failure of the rsync task a fatal error. We just haven't had another MacPorts release since then.
