Comment (by ryandesign):

 This issue is apparently limited to those users upgrading from Big Sur to
 Monterey, because these two ports have an increased revision only on Big
 Sur. I did this because the rebuild that this revision increase caused was
 exclusively intended to fix a Big Sur-specific problem and I didn't want
 to force users of other systems to rebuild the ports for no reason. The
 problem will resolve itself whenever in the future the revision or version
 of these ports is increased for any other reason thereby removing the
 inconsistency.

 Darwin 21 portindexes should exist on the servers now. Does the problem
 still persist after `sudo port sync`? My expectation is that it does not.

 It probably would be a good idea for MacPorts base to be able to know if
 the portindex it has is appropriate for the current OS arch and version,
 and if not, throw it away and make a new one. It sounds like what it does
 now is use and update the existing portindex on the computer which is for
 the user's previous OS version. This is wrong not just for the specific
 issue mentioned in this ticket but for any number of other reasons. Until
 such a change is made in base, advising users to do so manually in the
 [wiki:Migration migration instructions] isn't a bad idea.
