Hi,
As Ryan has been alluding to, something is not right with your
installation, and its very hard to work out what from the information
you are providing.
You say your OS has effectively been updated. Have you followed the
migration instructions
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration
that are required following a major OS update ? If not try following
them now.

This is a mac after a major repair with replaced motherboard. My admin
made a backup copy on HD and reinstalled most back from Sierra to
Mojave. Macports worked fine before when I installed back in 2017. There
are a few other ports that don't install e.g.
%sudo port install R
Error: Port R not found
and some produce this odd (not in the ports tree - ?) message with warning

synced your port definitions? Try running 'port selfupdate'.
All mirrors have all of the port definitions; they just copy them
from our primary public server. Also, rsync.macports.org
<http://rsync.macports.org> is our primary public server, not a mirror.
Your output still does not show the portindex being fetched or
generated, and I don't know why that would happen. In fact
selfupdate appears to be exiting entirely, before printing the
output that should always be printed at the end, as I showed before:

The question is, where is it exiting? Ok, it fetched ports.tar. Did
it verify it? Did it extract it? Can you selfupdate again but use
the -d flag instead of -v to get more detailed information?
Have you customized your sources.conf file? If so, what does it contain?
Has this ever worked? If so, when, and what changed since then?
