That's exactly what I get, if I install MacPorts 1.5.0 from the disk  
image designed for Mac OS X 10.5, but I in fact have Mac OS X 10.4.  
So, you should download the MacPorts 1.5.0 disk image designed for  
your OS.

If you have Mac OS X 10.4, use this:

http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/downloads/ 
MacPorts-1.5.0/MacPorts-1.5.0-10.4.dmg

If you have Mac OS X 10.3, use this:

http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/downloads/ 
MacPorts-1.5.0/MacPorts-1.5.0-10.3.dmg

We should fix our installer to only allow installation if the OS  
version matches the version for which the disk image is intended. I  
have filed the following ticket for this:
