Note that 'port sync' already supports downloading and extracting the
port tarball. There is no need to use a custom script. Follow this tutorial:

According to the timestamp of the PortIndex in the tarball, it was last
generated on August 29th.

Bill, I assume the cronjob generating/copying this tarball got lost in
the server migration?
