These instructions appear to come from the website that must not be

You probably need to run
sudo port selfupdate
followed by
sudo port install jam
Although if your firewall blocks your connection to the MacPorts
rsync
server, this will not work, and you'll need to refer to our FAQ:

But *many* software sites link to the "nameless" site for
instructions &
method on how to install their software on MacOSX rather than
linking to
MacPorts.
When I see a site that does that, I ask its owner to correct it. If
everyone does the same, maybe we can reduce our dear leech's
influence.

But it doesn't help the cause when Macports.org *still* doesn't work
in IE7 on a PC. Granted that useful software authors will probably not
contaminate their machines with IE7, but it is a great "put off" to
normal folk.
