The other problem here is that "upgrade" without an argument will try to
update the port in the current directory.  If the current directory doesn't
have a Portfile in it, you will get that error.  If you're not a port
developer, you would normally specify a port to be upgraded, or "outdated"
to upgrade all installed ports that are out of date; but on a fresh install
you won't have any ports to upgrade anyway.

Did you want "sudo port selfupdate" there instead?

"su -" will give you root's default $PATH, which doesn't have
/opt/local/bin in it (and shouldn't; I would not mess with root's default
path on OS X, since I consider that account to "belong" to Apple and as
such is likely subject to unexpected modification by Apple Software
Update).  You almost certainly didn't intend to do that.  Probably "sudo
-s" was what you wanted.
