MacPorts dmg installer hangs up, does not finish ?

I am running OS X 10.5.2 on an iMacG5 pentium machine.

I just downloaded MacPorts-1.6.0.pkg and tried to install it several  
times, but it always hangs up with the progress indicator about 3/4 of  
the way through, and never finishes.

I opened the /opt folder and there were a few items in it. "port" was  
actually there, so I tried using the terminal instead and tried "sudo  
port -v selfupdate" left it alone for a while but nothing happened, so  
I finally hit CTRL-C and deleted the /op directory.

Any ideas ?
