When I run sudo port selfupdate in terminal I get the following error
Launch of "tar" failed: the PowerPC architecture is no longer supported.

For whatever reason, your
tarprogram has been replaced with an old version designed for PowerPC processors. You need to fix this and put back the version that came with OS X 10.7.5 which is designed for Intel processors, for example by restoring from your backups or by reinstalling OS X. The relevant files to check would be /usr/bin/gnutar, /usr/bin/bsdtar and /usr/bin/tar (the latter should be a symlink to bsdtar).
