@Ryan - When I start Xcode after updating it tells me it is installing
needed components, and command line tools *is* one of the components
updated. It tells me that explicitly during the install. Again, the
"xcode-select install" is not something I've done manually either of the
last two times I've updated MacPorts. For me, that step was not
required when I did the MacPorts update after the Catalina install, or
just now after the Big Sur install. MacPorts continues to function as
expected retrieving and building packages as needed. I don't mean to
argue, I am just relaying what I've personally experienced. Perhaps the
action is remembered somewhere in Xcode?

No. "Components" are not "command line tools". You must also update the command
line tools separately.
Perhaps the manual xcode-select is required if you don't actually start Xcode
the application following its update.
My experience with MacPorts and Big Sur (as before with Catalina) was to simply
follow the MacPorts update instructions, after updating and starting Xcode as
described above, but without that manual xcode-select step.
You *MUST* update the Xcode command line tools separately in addition to
updating Xcode.
