Thanks for all the info.  I had just updated the new machine from macOS 13.1 to 13.2 before the MacPorts install and the download time was pretty normal.  I’m now installing all my ports on the new machine and it seems to be moving along at a good clip (over 200 ports).

This new Mac Mini is pretty nice (M2Pro base model).  When I’ve done this sort of initial install on Intel-CPU Macs the fans start spinning.  I’m about 2/3 through the list, and so far not a fan noise to be heard.

Also, the slightly outdated portindex on the public rsync servers should correspond exactly to their slightly outdated collection of ports so no updating should be needed.

But I haven't checked whether that's actually the case.
