Comment (by ballapete):

 Could be…

 First I found a File `PortIndex` from 1970-01-01 in root's home directory
 – removed now. Error/Complaint still exists.

 Then I simply ran `port -dv list`. The end of this is, afer approximately
 3090 lines:

 I am `rsync`'ing from
 `/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs`.
