Incidently this problem was reported to me yesterday and figured out
that the http key helper tool did not worked at all.  Teh windows socket
layer was not initialized and at another point we did a dup for a socket
which is not going to work.  I don't know why this bug lurked around for
so long.  It might be that gpg2 accidently used the gpg1 key helper
tools (which works) or that we only tested direct hkp server and finger
support.

Fixed in svn.

Well, this is anotehr problem.  I bet the msg.asc is not okay or there
is a problem with the MacPorts version of gpg2.
