The wiki is correct the way it is: first you upgrade OS X, then you upgrade Xcode, then you upgrade / reinstall MacPorts, then you get the list of installed ports. You could also get the list of installed ports before you upgrade OS X, but usually people have already upgraded OS X by the time they get to reading the instructions.

I'm not sure why in Pepijn's case he's getting an empty list of installed ports. That should not happen.
