Now running here.

My mistake; I ran:

mackie:~ dave$ sudo port selfupdate
Error: Current platform "darwin 17" does not match expected platform "darwin 16"
Error: If you upgraded your OS, please follow the migration instructions: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration
OS platform mismatch
     while executing
     "mportinit ui_options global_options global_variations"
     Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize MacPorts, OS platform mismatch

and somehow thought that it required Big Sur.  Plainly I need to read it more
carefully :-(

Now to install the latest MacPorts...
