Have you tried using a closer mirror instead of the master (which is in
Germany)?
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Mirrors
You can separately configure where base is downloaded from during selfupdate
(macports.conf) and where ports are downloaded from during selfupdate or sync
(sources.conf).
We have a mirror in Australia, unfortunately for some reason they don't mirror
base. I'll have to have a word with them about that. Maybe there is another
mirror that's closer to you than the master. Maybe try the one in New Caledonia.
The Australian mirror does mirror ports, so you could use it for that.
Trying different servers could also be a troubleshooting step to narrow down
whether it's a problem with all rsync traffic or just with reaching specific
servers.
