On another machine, on which I have multiple MacPorts installs  
sharing a sources.conf, "[default]" appears to have been added by  
something. Because I updated one install, and then the other said:

$ port sync
Warning: /mp/etc/macports/sources.conf source 'file:///Volumes/data/ 
macports/ports [default]' specifies invalid flag 'default'
Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing an svn  
update
port sync failed: Synchronization of 1 source(s) failed
$

And sources.conf does (now) have "[default]" at the end of the one  
non-comment line.
