That's a problem verifying the signature of MacPorts base source when doing a selfupdate. That's reported here:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49233

It likely has to do with the rsync server's current problems.

That's different to Sepideh Razavi's problem which is a failure to verify a port archive's signature. Port archives don't have anything to do with rsync so this will have a different reason, and we need to see the debug output from his system to determine what it is.
