Comment (by gmpalter):

 I saw the same error on the first selfupdate but the second worked without
 complaint.

 I wonder if this is a problem with the group, not owner,  of
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/base
 and .../ports. On my machine after the selfupdate, the group ID is 505
 but, on my system, the group ID for macports is 501.

 I corrected the group on those directories using "sudo chgrp -R macports".

 I then did another selfupdate and the group ID was change to 505.

 Finally, I changed the group ID back to macports and tried running the
 installer instead. After I did, the group ID had been changed back to 505.

 For the record, there is no group with ID 505 on my system.
