it *is* MacPorts, not a Port

rsync -azv rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/base/ macports/
cd macports/
./configure --enable-readline --prefix=/Users/thomas/Documents/prgm/ 
bin/autoinstall/macports --with-install-user=thomas --with-install- 
group=thomas

curiously, the problem doesn't happen when i do
port selfupdate
