port selfupdate does not use URL:port

Background: I need to proxy/tunnel sometimes to rsync from rsync.opendarwin.org. While some things work as expected by configuring port to use an alternate URL, (port sync and port install, for example), selfupdating port does not. For example, if I configure ports.conf and sources.conf to point to a different URL like this for example (real IP and port masked out):

pwd

/opt/local/etc/ports

grep "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:ZZZ" *

ports.conf:rsync_server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:ZZZ sources.conf:rsync://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:ZZZ/dpupdate/dports

Then port is smart enough most of the time to use the rsync URL I've configured, but selfupdate does not honor the alternate IP port. See below (notice how the sync at the beginning works). I don't grok tcl, but my guess from looking at the code is that sources.conf isn't being parsed to handle the protocol://address:port/path/to correctly.

port -d selfupdate

Actually, port does indeed use the PORT in the URL of the form "protocol://server:PORT/pathto" I was being fooled by a user .portsrc overriding the system ports.conf file.
