So any Tiger user can just run the MacPorts 2.0.3 installer, which will, at its conclusion, run selfupdate, which will update to 2.1.1.

You can't selfupdate from < 1.5.0 at all. Some users don't have rsync
access and have to use the pkg to upgrade. And there are bug fixes and
enhancements made to the installer itself sometimes.
