I'm trying to install ports now, but the fetching naturally fails. I assume it uses curl? How can I ensure that curl uses socks? Am new to macports so any help will be more than welcome. 

MacPorts should pick up your proxy settings from System Preferences, or
failing that, you can configure them in macports.conf (which is well
commented).
