Correct crontab entry for port selfupdate && port upgrade outdated

[Arno Hautala]

The basics are that the shell script goes in /usr/local/bin (or
anywhere else really, just make sure you edit the plist to point to
where the script is). The plist goes in `/Library/LaunchDaemons/`,
should be owned by root:admin and have 644 permissions. You can then
load the service with: `launchctl load
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.port.selfupdate.plist` and stop
the service with "unload" instead of "load".
