Or should I just make a reminder to run these by hand occasionally? I would like it if the macport distribution would be reasonably "self-updating"...since I tend to forget.

We're not very automatically-updating at the moment unfortunately. It's probably a better idea to set a reminder to do it yourself manually every month or two, because ports will often print messages that you need to read and act upon.
