That's a bug in the 1.6 installer:

Great, Joshua, that's it. Without your kindly help I hadn't found
that page!
Hardly understandable, that the macports-creator let the new
(installing) user unknowing of the bug and the fixing script (I
lost a day with trial and error without success).
We apologize for this problem. It has gone unfixed for far too long.
The fix will be in MacPorts 1.7.0. We have already made available
1.7.0 release candidate 1, so hopefully we can release the final
version of 1.7.0 very soon.
It should be made clear at the install-page: http://
www.macports.org/install.php
but what is written there dosn't let you suspect that there is e
fundamental bug:
"This procedure will place a fully-functional and default MacPorts
installation on your host system, ready for usage. If needed your
shell configuration files will be adapted by the installer to
include the necessary settings to run MacPorts and the programs it
installs, but you may need to open a new shell for these changes to
take effect."
Or at least as a warning at
http://guide.macports.org/#installing.shell
But however, with the command:
curl -O http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/branches/
release_1_6/base/portmgr/dmg/postflight && bash postflight
all went well.
So the problem of installation of MacPorts seems to be resolved. I
continued with:
sudo port install rtf2latex2e
which went logtime well, but finished with:
---> Configuring rtf2latex2e
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure:

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
I'm not fit to read from this wether the problem lies in the
rtf2latex2e port, or in the MacPort configuration.
If someone has a knowing/guess/hint about it, please tell me, what
you would do after this error message, please!

I can confirm that error on 10.4.11 Intel. We had two tickets filed
for it too:
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15720
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16627
Bryan's fix seems to work for me so I'll note that in the tickets.
I also filed a ticket requesting rtf2latex2e be updated from 1.0fc1
to 1.0fc2:
