The installation of git-core is working now. I'm not sure what the 
underlying issue was, but at some point (after I first started this 
thread) I was having trouble getting DNS resolution of www.kernel.org 
and some other sites.

A reboot seemed to fix the problems :( and MacPorts is now updating 
successfully :)

Thanks for the help!
