Comment (by josephsacco):

 And yes...  Once the OSX 10.5.8 version of curl is back in place,  all is
 well. Here is some of the output from updating to 2.4.4:

 {{{

 This could take a while...
 /opt/local/libexec/macports/bin/tclsh8.5 ./src/dedup_portfiles.tcl

 Congratulations, you have successfully upgraded the MacPorts system.

 The fun continues,
