Comment(by asbjorn at ulsberg.no):

 Yes, the latter is output from selfupdate. I thought that selfupdate was
 required to be in sync with the latest ports, but obviously that's not the
 case(?). I'll be looking forward to a future version of MacPorts that can
 sync directly for selfupdate via SVN, then. Thanks!
