You can download the MacPorts 1.8.1 source via http from the downloads area and compile it yourself. Or you can download the 1.8.1 disk image and install that; it will not adversely affect your installed ports or settings.

Ryan, assuming I decide to download new version, where should the sources be placed and how to I initiate the compilation ... if it is more complicated than placing the tar-ball in the appropriate location and issuing "sudo port selfupdate" or a similar simple command, just say the word and I'll go with the diskimage.

Unless you have a specific need to compile from source, just use the correct disk image and install from that. I should have probably listed that option first.
