Comment(by velociraptor@…):

 I can attempt to re-run the installer after archiving off my existing
 ports and testing to see what happens again.  The first time I attempted
 to install was over an existing PPC MacPorts install that had been
 migrated over by the Migration Assistant.  That hung at about 1/3.  I
 realized that it was going to leave me with a bunch of stupid work to do,
 since Mac Ports doesn't check for "arch" just "version" on ports.  Rather
 than trying to come up with a script to fix it, I noted down all my key
 ports and wiped it and re-installed from scratch.

 When I ran the re-install it got to the 2/3 point before it hung.

 Unfortunately, I'm not going to have time to do a archive/re-install this
 week to test, due to work constraints.

 Possible ways to test rsync's status would be to either send it's output
 to another log file and check that for changes, use lsof to check for an
 open, active ports (lsof -Pni) to the MacPorts repository, or possibly
 dtrace.  Even doing a check of the number of bytes changed on disk at 3
 minute intervals would do it.  Or at least give the user some idea of how
 much data needs to be transferred so they can check it themselves.
