New description:

 I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion (Macbook Pro) with no issues. Then
 installed Xcode 5, which already had the command line tools set in
 preferences.

 I then did:
 {{{
   sudo port -v upgrade outdated
 }}}

 It commented that the file list was outdated and that I might be better to
 try selfupdate...but continued on its way with the upgrade. The upgrade
 failed due to a build file not being found, so heeding the suggestion, I
 tried

 {{{
 sudo port -v selfupdate
 }}}

 The tail end of that is:

 {{{
 checking whether the C compiler works... no
 configure: error: in
 `/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base':
 configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
 See `config.log' for more details
 Command failed: cd
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base
 && CC=/usr/bin/cc ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-
 tclpackage=/Library/Tcl --with-install-user=root --with-install-
 group=admin --with-directory-mode=0755 --enable-readline && make && make
 install SELFUPDATING=1
 Exit code: 77
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error installing new
 MacPorts base: command execution failed
 }}}

 At this point I have no clue what state I'm in or what to do about it.

Comment:

 "[wiki:FAQ#missingxcode C compiler cannot create executables]" is the most
 common error you'll see if you haven't installed the command line tools.
 Xcode does not automatically install or update the command line tools, so
 please check the preferences window again to make sure your command line
 tools are installed.
 You can verify by running "clang -v" and "xcodebuild -version" in the
 terminal.
 `xcodebuild` should mention Xcode 5, and `clang` should be version 5 as
 well.

 Next, when updating the OS version, you must follow [wiki:Migration
 migration procedures].

 Finally, this issue tracker is for bug reports and feature requests, not
 technical support.
 If you need further support, please write to the
 [https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users macports-
 users mailing list].
