I finally abandoned it and removed all traces of it. (It installed into /opt/openmodelica and there was a weird problem with a launch agent relating to org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist.) I haven't had anything to do with it since.

Mathematica was running when I ran the problematic selfupdate today, but not SystemModeler. I'm only mentioning this because like I said I can't see any explanation at all. As far as I know the Wolfram product has nothing to do with MacPorts.

It seems that the openmodelica.org is back up, so the sync should work again (at least it does for me)
