Thank you all for your help. I did a complete reinstall of MacOSX 10.4, and installed all of the updates. Then i installed XCode 2.5, followed by MacPorts 1.6.1 After all of this, i still got the error about the port command. I updated to MacPorts 1.7, and ran the port command again. This time it worked!!! Turns out that by using MacPorts 1.6, and creating my own .profile, i broke the configuration. After the complete reinstall, and upgrade to MacPorts 1.7 everything worked fine.
