Yeah, this error should probably be reported in a clearer fashion.

I think what this error is telling you is that 
'http://cygwinports.org/ports.gpg' is not a valid gpg key.

This is correct.  If you open that with your browser, you'll see why.

The cygwinports package repo was shut down some time ago (2017 I think).

The solution is to remove that key from your setup invocation.
