At this point I realized I could have just switched the active one but was already too late.

You also need a corresponding .rmd160 signature, generated with a
private key whose public counterpart is listed in pubkeys.conf. With
that in the same folder as the archive, you should be able to install by
specifying an appropriate porturl:

sudo port install file:///path/to/archive.tbz2

Or you could just follow the instructions Daniel linked to.
