No it doesn't. The MacPorts web site is at <http://www.macports.org/>,
and the download page <http://www.macports.org/install.php> links to
<http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.9.1-10.5-Leopard.dmg>
(assuming you want the dmg for 10.5).

If you want to be sure you are getting an official MacPorts release, you
should only ever download from the site I gave above.
