FYI, Subversion is already installed on Mac OS X 10.5 and later. It's part of 
Mac OS X.

You need to run "sudo port sync", which will update your ports (using 
Subversion, now that you've changed your sources.conf to point to the Subversion 
working copy of the dports tree that you checked out) and create the PortIndex 
by running the portindex program. Or you could run the portindex program 
manually if you wanted to. If you want to do that, you need to cd to the dports 
directory before doing so.
