If I run that for packages.macports.org, the first one it says that
fails then I get the following:

builder-osx-1:~ ram$ ping -noq -c3 -t3 packages.macports.org | grep
round-trip | cut -d / -f 5
14.594
builder-osx-1:~ ram$

and then for one of the others:

builder-osx-1:~ ram$ ping -noq -c3 -t3 sea.us.packages.macports.org |
grep round-trip | cut -d / -f 5
31.960
builder-osx-1:~ ram$

which is the output I'd expect

This is a fresh install of OS X (10.11.3, Xcode 7.2.1) and a brand new
installation of MacPorts. I did install MacPorts from source, and not
the installer, using:

$ CFLAGS="-pipe -Os" ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-readline

but I do this on all of my machines.

builder-osx-1:~ ram$ which grep
/usr/bin/grep
builder-osx-1:~ ram$
