It still needs to support other locations for the ports tree.

Read the file ${prefix}/etc/macports/sources.conf to see where the user has his ports tree(s). You probably only need to concern yourself with the default tree.

Most users will have "rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]" in this file, which corresponds to the location on disk you're trying to read now. But I have "file:///Users/rschmidt/macports/dports [default]" in my sources.conf to indicate that my ports tree is elsewhere.
