Yep, that's a really old config.

You should be able to safely install a newer version of macports if you need to. You may be able to just update ${prefix}/etc/macports/sources.conf to have a line like:

rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]

And your ${prefix}/etc/macports/macports.conf to have:
rsync_server rsync.macports.org
rsync_dir release/base/
