There are so many ways to get a file from one machine to another. You  
must mean something else.

If it's a Mac you want to copy the file from on Leopard you should be  
able to see the machine in a Finder window in the sidebar under  
"SHARED".
Just click the computer name and "Connect As" and type in your  
credentials when prompted.
Then find your Portfile and copy it over.

If you are just looking for your port file.

port dir <port name>

This is what I do.
