This sounds like you had something interesting in your .profile and the
macports installer didn't understand it.
(Specifically, a loop cat-ing a here document comes to mind, but there are
other possibilities.)

If you're okay with pastebinning your .porfile (or .bash_profile if that's
what you have) somewhere then someone can look it over and see what went
wrong.
