Oops feeling really stupid by not RTFM! The very first paragraph
(https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MavericksProblems#UpdatingMacPortsBase)
:

<quote>
Versions of MacPorts built on 10.8 or lower will fail to install
packages on Mavericks because of a missing /usr/bin/gnutar. The
solution to that problem is to re-install MacPorts using the installer
for Mavericks. Do not create a symlink named /usr/bin/gnutar pointing
to a different version of tar or a version of gnutar you installed
using MacPorts or yourself.
