Yes, base/src/upgrade_sources_conf_default.tcl does this.  However there are
a few cases where it is/was failing.  The above source you used,
file:///Users/rschmidt/macports/dports, is that an svn-checkout?  If so, is
the URL for it at svn.macosforge.org instead of macports.org (use 'svn info
/Users/rschmidt/macports/dports' to see)?  If so, I'm working on fixing that
at the moment.

Did this sources.conf have a tag already, most likely [nosync] in it?  That
was fixed in r42734 for trunk and r42736 for 1.7 branch, to use the correct
'[nosync,default]' instead of '[nosync] [default]'.
