Comment(by claude@…):

 I was able to solve this by doing what macports_org at matthammond.org
 suggested. However the ports directory was in the tarballs directory not
 in the release directory:

 {{{
 cd
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports
 sudo portindex
 }}}

 The output was:

 {{{
 Creating port index in
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports
 Adding port databases/oracle-instantclient
 Adding port lang/g95
 Adding port multimedia/XviD

 Total number of ports parsed:   3
 Ports successfully parsed:      3
 Ports failed:                   0
 Up-to-date ports skipped:       15432
 }}}

 XviD was then found.

 Doing a 'port selfupdate' by itself does not work... I have no idea why.
