No — but there is a brand spanking new version of MacPorts that runs on High Sierra. I am in fact using it right at this second, and it works just great.
OK.
MacPorts doesn’t require BigSur; it runs on everything from Tiger PPC up.

Perhaps you didn’t find the right HS installer? Try this one: https://github.com/macports/macports-base/releases/download/v2.7.1/MacPorts-2.7.1-10.13-HighSierra.pkg
I'll have a look; thanks. -- Dave
