and I got an error message in terminal showing that:

---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync

You're problem isn;t with the install of Putty, you haven;t even gotten to that yet. You're problem is with updating MacPorts.

Is this the first time you have installed and try to run MacPorts? Have you installed the correct version of MacPorts for your OS version? Do you have Xcode and the command line tools installed?

Also there is this from the MacPorts page

Selfupdate

If you already have MacPorts installed and have no restrictions to use the rsync networking protocol (tcp port 873 by default), the easiest way to upgrade to our latest available release, 2.3.1, is by using the selfupdate target of the port(1) command. This will both update your ports tree (by performing a sync operation) and rebuild your current installation if it's outdated, preserving your customizations, if any.

Make sure the port required is opened also.

What do you need that for? OS X includes ssh, which putty is trying to emulate.
