Synchronizing Two Macports Installations

The easiest solution is to host your own archives that can be downloaded between the machines. These two pages offer further details.
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/archives
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/ShareArchives2

tl;dr All the archives are in ${prefix}/var/macports/software and you can sync those directly, safely. When you go to install a package, macports will simply unpack and install it.
