Comment:

 Not knowing exactly what you did or how it failed, it's very hard to give
 advice on how to fix it. Ideally I'd want to see debug output from the
 initial failed selfupdate, and the installer log from when you tried
 installing the pkg.

 Information about installed ports is stored in
 `/opt/local/var/macports/registry`, so if you deleted that, it's gone. If
 you have a backup of /opt/local, try restoring that. Otherwise there's no
 a lot you can do apart from installing from scratch. If the registry was
 just gone, you could look at `/opt/local/var/macports/software` to see
 what ports were installed, but i gather that's also deleted.
