I've downloaded following package for Lion https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.2.1-10.7-Lion.pkg

Try couple of times but installation hangs at the same stage: Running package scripts. I will definitly never finish. Xcode -- Version 4.6.3 (4H1503) but this should be root cause right? Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)

Not sure what might be wrong and still trying to find some workaround or permeant fix. Any help is apperecieted

It might just need quite a long time – if it hangs, it's usually because it tries to download the ports tree from our servers. This step is equivalent to port selfupdate, so even if it fails now, you can still already use MacPorts and just run selfupdate on the command line.

Taking a look at the installer log (you can open the log window from the menu) should provide more insight into what the installer scripts are currently doing.

The same issue on OS X Mountain Lion. As in the log above, the installer hangs with the last message being "./postinstall: base.tar".

The post-installation script does network I/O at this point. It may be slow depending on your network connection or fail depending on the availability of our servers. If you've reached this point, MacPorts has been successfully installed, and you can fix any breakage that might have occurred with the next sudo port selfupdate.
