PS I already ran "port selfupdate" and received the following terminal output

--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.0.1 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.0.1 downloaded.
--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated

i am running mac osx 10.7 (Lion) on dual core, core 2 duo with Xcode 4.0 (installed prior to port selfupdate or port upgrade outdated)

Try deleting the offending archive from /opt/local/var/macports/software/ncursesw and letting MacPorts download it again. Based on #30942 it sounds like you may have gotten a bad download.

ncursesw is gone.
