That means you're using MacPorts 1.8.x or earlier. You need to upgrade to MacPorts 1.9.1. Run:

sudo /opt/local/bin/port selfupdate

Or whatever the equivalent of that is in Porticus, if you prefer.

That means you haven't set up your shell to know where the port command is. If you'd like to use MacPorts from the shell, either type the full path to port (/opt/local/bin/port) every time you want to use it, or edit the file .profile or .bash_profile in your home directory and set up your PATH variable following these instructions:

MacPorts should have set this up for you at installation time; not sure what went wrong.
