portlist.tcl: illegal byte sequence

Hi all,

I was installing some ports last night just before going to bed, and this
morning after waking up, attempting to run any port command gives the
following error message:

couldn't read file
"/opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/portlist1.0/portlist.tcl": illegal byte
sequence
    while executing
"source /opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/portlist1.0/portlist.tcl"
    ("package ifneeded portlist 1.0" script)
    invoked from within
"package require portlist"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 48)

Is there any way to fix this?
