macports - rsync blocked

Rsync is blocked at my work because stuff.

http://www.dreamchain.com/how-to-sync-mac-ports-without-rsync/ says:

If port 873 is blocked on your network and you need to sync MacPorts do this:
In /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf replace
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]
with
http://www.macports.org/files/ports.tar.gz [default]
and run
sudo port sync
instead of
sudo port selfupdate
MacPorts is now synching using http over port 80 instead of rsync over port 873.
