New description:

 Outbound 873 is blocked on my network, and there's nothing I can do about
 it.  So I tried to use the tarball:

 {{{
 flamingo:~ joliver.sa$ tail -2 /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf
 #rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default]
 https://distfiles.macports.org/ports.tar.gz [default]
 }}}

 But:

 {{{
 flamingo:~ joliver.sa$ sudo port -d selfupdate
 DEBUG: MacPorts sources location:
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs
 --->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync

Comment:

 You've configured MacPorts to fetch the ports tree via https, but
 selfupdate always uses rsync to fetch the base code; it cannot be
 configured to use https or another method. (See #38265.) You can use
 "`sudo port sync`" to sync the ports tree (via https, now that you've
 changed your sources.conf), and manually update MacPorts base when a new
 version is released, e.g. by downloading and installing the package from
 our web site. You can subscribe to the macports-announce [MailingLists
 mailing list] if you'd like to be informed when new versions are released.
