I downloaded the MacPorts-1.6.0.pkg again, and this time it installed  
after several minutes.

After the installer finished I tried :

$ sudo port -v selfupdate
Password:
Synchronizing local ports tree from rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ 
ports/

but here the terminal hangs up. (it hasn't done anything for about 10  
minutes)
