Comment (by kencu):

 Bill -- you need to download the latest sources for macports base
 <https://github.com/macports/macports-base> onto the Tiger machine, and
 then install as if from source. You might need to download them with
 another machine, and move the ZIP file over, depending on the status of
 your Tiger machine. To install from source, in easy cases, that means
 going into the folder, and running `configure`, `make`, and `sudo make
 install` for default installations.

 You will wind up with a macports that has old libcurl security, and won't
 be able to download from many sites. That's why I do to custom install
 using an updated libcurl to fix this issue, as above.

 Let me / us know if you have trouble, or get stuck. -- Best, K
