port outdated command works propely after Porticus being installed.

[Mike Savory]

Also when you do
# sudo port selfupdate

The line that comes back
 >The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated

is referring to the install of the port command itself, not that no  
installed ports are outdated!
so doing a port outdated after a selfudate is all you need (sans  
porticus)

$ sudo port selfupdate; port outdated
MacPorts base version 1.700 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.700
The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated
The following installed ports are outdated:
autoconf213                    2.13_0 < 2.13_1
bzip2                          1.0.5_1 < 1.0.5_2
etc...
