Comment (by ccorn):

 Does it work if you add {{{fetch.ignore_sslcert=yes}}} to the port command
 line?

 My (superficial) impression is that this has to do with MacPorts
 implementation of the Tcl {{{curl}}} command. Then the file to look at
 might be
 {{{${prefix}/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/base/src/pextlib1.0/curl.c}}}.
 And this would be a {{{base}}} issue, not a {{{port}}} issue for {{{py-
 appdirs}}}. Python ports just aggravate the problem because none of their
 mirrors work well with the fetch configuration under Darwin 9 and earlier.
