erik@MacBook-Pro-Erik Downloads % sudo port contents
Password:
Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find Portfile in /Users/erik/Downloads").
Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.

I have no idea what it all means, please help?

You haven't told MacPorts which port you want to see the contents of. For example, if you want to see the contents of zlib, type port contents zlib. No need to use sudo since you're not changing anything, just getting information.
