For specific steps you could refer to step 3. at
https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.git

For building portindex you can do the following steps
$ cd /opt/mports/macports-ports
$ portindex

It would take some time to create the whole portindex.

P.S: git clone might also take a lot of time if you are on a slow internet.
You could try a shallow clone [1] to make the checkout fast. You will
have only the latest commit and not the complete changeset.
