Here a playbook which installs and updates MacPorts, also it may optionally bootstrap MacPorts to get the last version of curl, and updates the system on defined list of macOS machines.
The main goal is install MacPorts which is linked against curl inside
bootstrap MacPorts to fix not working SSL. See: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51516
It also forces ansible to use a python from bootstrap MacPorts that allows to support old systems like 10.5.
This playbook supports integration with Parallels which to make a snapshot for each update, and zeros freespace to save your host disk :)
To use it add your ssh key into keys folder with used username and create
hosts files like:
# -*- coding: utf-8; mode: conf; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil; c-basic-offset: 4 -*- vim:fenc=utf-8:ft=conf:et:sw=4:ts=4:sts=4

# Parallels Tools v15 works on leopard, so, no Update
leopard
where prl_id is optional variable which contains a unique ID of Parallels' VM,
and it uses ansible_ssh_host to suggest an address which should be used by ansible.
After that a simple run ansible-playbook maintenance.yml start to update
everything.
You may see that switching ports tree was disabled for 10.5; by default it
switches ports tree to file:///Volumes/SharedFolders/Home/src/macports-ports
with enabled nosync option.
I also enable a custom python for 10.5 and using curl up to 10.10, and switched
all MacPorts to file:///Volumes/SharedFolders/Home/src/macports-ports.
Thus, it starts VM one-by-one, but if you have enough resources to run more VMs,
feel free to increase ansible serial via servar variale. For example
ansible-playbook -e servar=2 maintenance.yml runs two VM in parallel.
It also has additional playbook shrink.yml which fills the disk by zeros,
cleanup.yml that only cleanup a disk, and nuke.yml which removes installed MacPorts.
