I just installed Macport and when I tried to use it I got the error:

Could anyone please give me some idea what's going wrong here? Thanks very much in advance!!!

That's exactly what I get, if I install MacPorts 1.5.0 from the disk image designed for Mac OS X 10.5, but I in fact have Mac OS X 10.4. So, you should download the MacPorts 1.5.0 disk image designed for your OS.

If you have Mac OS X 10.4, use this:

http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/downloads/ MacPorts-1.5.0/MacPorts-1.5.0-10.4.dmg

If you have Mac OS X 10.3, use this:

http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/downloads/ MacPorts-1.5.0/MacPorts-1.5.0-10.3.dmg

We should fix our installer to only allow installation if the OS version matches the version for which the disk image is intended. I have filed the following ticket for this:
