the macports use to work few months ago, but since i upgraded to lion it stopped. I don’t know if it is related to the upgrade or not, today i tried to troubleshoot it but got no where. I thought of reinstalling but i cannot find the dmg for lion on their site (broken link).
Now , macports’s rsync server is down see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34298
