Thanks Ryan, that did it.
To Rainer, who wondered how come 501 does not exist: I bought this
machine as a demo model so it had an account. Of course I created my
own, and then deleted the original one. Bingo, 501 is gone!
Hasn't created any problem so far in >3 years (and I am quite sure my
original install of MacPorts was for this same configuration).
Anyway, i am in business, thanks.

I am uncertain why selfupdate is failing for you, but you could
work around this for now by installing MacPorts 1.9.1 from the disk
image available on the MacPorts web site. This will not affect your
installed ports.
