MacPorts is the same. The installer installs the base code, and then runs "sudo port selfupdate" which updates base to the latest version *and* downloads the collection of portfiles. The collection of portfiles is not tied to a specific version of MacPorts, but is meant to always be used with the latest (or nearly the latest) version of MacPorts.
