I recently installed Sierra and am now coming to migrating my MacPorts ports

Error: Current platform "darwin 16" does not match expected platform "darwin 15"
Error: If you upgraded your OS, please follow the migration instructions:

I put the error message about “darwin 16” into google and was given the
following:
The error is explaining very well what is happening and the recommendation is
to visit the Migration website for further instructions.
My recommendation (and tested of course) is to just download the latest
macports, the Sierra version and install it.
I am happy to try this but I would prefer suggestions to come from Macports
folk. If anyone can help I’d be very grateful. I presume that I would use ‘sudo
port selfupdate’.
Step 2 of the guide says
Reinstall MacPorts base
After updating the development tools, install the base MacPorts
system for your new platform, either from the appropriate installer or
from source.
This step is before the one where you are asked to run
port -qv installed > myports.txt
So yes, you should do this.
No, do not do 'selfupdate' but as the above says, either use the
installer or build from source.
