You are using bash on Sonoma? The default shell is zsh. The MacPorts installer is supposed to detect which shell you use and configure the appropriate shell startup file but maybe it's not identifying your shell properly. Of course, if you changed your shell from zsh to bash after installing MacPorts that would explain it.
