Comment (by cal@…):

 That's very likely a false positive. Unfortunately I couldn't find any
 documentation on why Kaspersky thinks this is a Trojan. Please contact
 your anti-virus vendor and have them investigate the file.

 You can rebuild this file from scratch in
 `/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base/src/macports1.0/`.
 The source code that gets built into the dylib is given in `macports.c`,
 `get_systemconfiguration_proxies.c` and `sysctl.c` in this directory.
 Please review these files if you want to make sure they do not contain any
 malicious code. To rebuild those files, type `make clean`, `make` and
 `sudo make install` in this directory.
