As I understand it, darwinports.com is not to be trusted in general, and certainly not in particular with respect to Macports. (I am willing to be corrected; I got that impression from another thread on this mailing list.) Darwinports.com and macports.org are not affiliated. So whatever you read on there probably has no bearing to your macports installation
If you'd like to see whether the gaim port is available on your system:
sudo port search gaim
Unfortunately for you, I don't think it is.
Correct, anything not using the name "MacPorts" is not official. darwinports dot com is someone's attempt to provide 3rd party support, and it is not accurate. And a file called portslocation has never existed. There is a new guide under development here: http://homepage.mac.com/duling/macports/guide.html to tell you how to install ports. Looks like the gaim project has been renamed http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ to pidgin. Try installing the pidgin port. Mark
