You might check out `port -p mirror` to grab dist files (this might be a case where port can run natively on Linux). You can then point a web server at the folder where everything is saved.

I think you can then just have the internet-less citizens point distfiles.macports.org to your server, or add it to the list of macports_distfiles fetch mirrors:
${prefix}/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/_resources/port1.0/fetch/mirror_sites.tcl
