Comment (by kencu):

 Thanks for the report. When this happens, you can download the file
 directly yourself if needed. It's a security issue based on an older
 security setup on your system, that will be worked out in time.

 In your log, you see this:
 {{{
 poppler-0.51.0.tar.xz does not exist in
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/poppler
 }}}
 so the file will go in `/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/poppler`. Go
 there
 {{{
 cd /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/poppler
 }}}
 now you need another way to download it. I like wget. You can also use a
 current web browser. install wget `sudo port -v install wget`. Hopefully
 that goes in smoothly.

 Then look at your log for a source for the file that is _not_ macports. I
 see this one (and notice the failed security issue showing up):
 {{{
 notice:fetch --->  Attempting to fetch poppler-0.51.0.tar.xz from
 https://poppler.freedesktop.org/
 debug:fetch Fetching distfile failed: Failed to connect to
 poppler.freedesktop.org port 443: Connection refused
 }}}

 now that you're in the proper folder, as noted above, and you know the
 name of the file, download it manually

 {{{
 sudo wget https://poppler.freedesktop.org/poppler-0.51.0.tar.xz
 }}}
 you will find that goes along with no troubles, and then you go back to
 your `sudo port -v upgrade outdated`.

 if you find another security error, just do the same thing.
