Which curl was it though, MacPorts or system? (Running 'type curl' will
answer this.)

I would check if you have any proxies configured, via any of System
Preferences, environment variables, or macports.conf.

Also verify that MacPorts hasn't somehow been linked with an incorrect
version of libcurl:

otool -L /opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib

My output for reference:

/opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib:
	/opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib (compatibility
version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version
9.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libedit.3.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version
3.0.0)
	@loader_path/../registry2.0/registry.dylib (compatibility version
0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1252.200.5)

Maybe check that you don't have any environment variables starting with
DYLD set as well.

HTH,
