Comment (by ryandesign):

 Ken, the error message

 > {{{
 > Error: Current platform "darwin 22" does not match expected platform
 "darwin 21"
 > }}}

 would occur if you attempt to ''use'' a MacPorts installation intended for
 Darwin 21 (Monterey) on Darwin 22 (Ventura). For example, this would occur
 if you install MacPorts for Monterey while running Monterey and then
 upgrade to Ventura. The solution would be to download MacPorts for Ventura
 and install it.

 But it should not be possible to ''install'' MacPorts for Monterey on
 Ventura. The installer should show an intelligible error in that case. For
 example, it should display a message "This package is meant to be
 installed on macOS 12.0." and when that message is dismissed the installer
 window should close. It should not be possible to attempt a MacPorts
 installation that is for the wrong OS version.

 Regarding the error message

 > {{{
 > The Installation Failed
 >
 > The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.
 Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
 > }}}

 I can't explain that and would need to see the installer log.
