Failure in initial self-update after install

[grant.passmore@…]

Hi, I'm on a new (opened the box and turned it on 2 hours ago, installed XCode/Dev tools directly from factory provided DVD) 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with latest 10.6.4. I've built and installed MacPorts successfully, but the initial self-update fails. I attach config.log and also paste the script output. Thank you very much for your help!
