To reinstall, simply install the base MacPorts system for your new platform." But the link on the latter is to https://www.macports.org/install.php, and at that page the newest macOS version shown is Ventura.

If you choose not to follow that route that is indeed a choice you are free totake, but then you will have to wait until the installer is made available. I was simply pointing out waiting for that installer is not a requirement, if you just follow the install from source instructions instead, which frankly are not at all hard to follow.

These work, for the most part, on any OS release, including the early beta versions. I for one always using the route installing form git as I prefer to follow base  development more closely.
