New description:

 Because I'm behind an http proxy I'm using svn and not rsync to
 synchronize. I added the following to sources.conf:

 {{{
 file://opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/
 }}}

 But when I run sync it fails because it is using a bad path (note it is
 preceded with /opt/local/bin):

 {{{
 mac$ ./port -d sync
 --->  Updating the ports tree
 Synchronizing local ports tree from
 file://opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/
 couldn't change working directory to
 "/opt/local/bin/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports":
 no such file or directory
 Command failed: /opt/local/bin/portindex
 /opt/local/bin/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports
 Exit code: 1
 Error: updating PortIndex for
 file://opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/
 failed
 }}}

 I think this is caused by an off by one error in macports.tcl:proc
 macports::getportdir

 The following change seems to fix the problem:

 {{{
 set path [file normalize [string range $url [expr [string length
 $protocol] + 3] end]]
 }}}

 to

 {{{
 set path [file normalize [string range $url [expr [string length
 $protocol] + 2] end]]
 }}}
