Repeating the first step didn't work.

However, the second step did work. It download, so then I installed.
myron$ sudo port install netcat
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for netcat
--->  Extracting netcat
--->  Configuring netcat
--->  Building netcat with target generic
--->  Staging netcat into destroot
--->  Installing netcat 1.10_2
--->  Activating netcat 1.10_2
--->  Cleaning netcat

But it doesn't seem to have installed anything in /opt/local/bin
myron$ sudo find / -name netcat -print
/opt/local/share/doc/netcat
/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/netcat
/opt/local/var/macports/receipts/netcat
/opt/local/var/macports/software/netcat
/opt/local/var/macports/software/netcat/1.10_2/opt/local/share/doc/ 
netcat
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/net/ 
netcat

port installed returns that netcat is installed, though
...
netcat @1.10_2 (active)
