Well, macports doesn't pass flags into subprocs usually.

Try running selfupdate with -d on so you can see what commands it's actually running, and then see what the rsync command is that it uses. For me:
DEBUG: /usr/bin/rsync -rtzv --delete-after  rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs
