Comment:

 Selfupdate updates MacPorts itself; it has nothing to do with fetching
 packages and is not affected by sources.conf (the selfupdate settings are
 in macports.conf). If you can't use rsync, you can't currently selfupdate,
 and will need to use `port sync` to update the ports tree and install new
 MacPorts versions either from the .pkg or manually from source.

 I'm marking this as a duplicate of #38265/#16954.
