Run "sudo port selfupdate" to get the most recent ports.tar. Do you still see the problem then? This message could occur if you run "sudo port selfupdate" (or "sudo port sync") in one terminal window while another MacPorts process is still running in another terminal window. So it's best not to do that. If you weren't doing that, I can't explain it.
