If you read:
https://guide.macports.org/#development.patches.portfile
It tells you how to make a copy and generate patch for a Portfile, but it
does not tell you where to find the original Portfile. Looking on my
system with find /opt/local grep|portname|grep Portfile, I find two
candidates, one somewhere in
/opt/local//var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports
and another somewhere in /opt/local//var/macports/registry/portfiles/ and
they appear slightly different.
Even if this is an idiosyncrasy in my system, the guide section should
include the default location of the Portfile to be used to generate
patches.
