There is a ticket about this <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/55039>

If you install MacPorts with certain build options, eg a non-standard 
curlprefix, for example

./configure --with-curlprefix=/opt/bootstrap
make && sudo make install


and then later selfupdate, and a new MacPorts is noted and installed:

sudo port -v selfupdate

it will install the new copy of MacPorts ignoring the previous curlprefix (and 
some other build options are ignored as well).

So -- "sudo port -v selfupdate" appears to only really work with all standard 
installation options.
