I tried that and it failed with the same error message. I looked up reports of
failure in gmane's version of the Archives and found a variant on that which I
assumed was a verbose flag. It was very verbose and the final few bits of
output looked like this:
$ sudo port -vf selfupdate
Snipped many pages of output....

It appears I have thoroughly broken my macports installation.
