The MacPorts 2.6.4 installer for macOS 11 inadvertently added the DISPLAY=:0 setting to shell startup files. The bug was corrected in MacPorts 2.7.0 but no code was ever added to clean up the mess for users who had already used the 2.6.4 installer.

Could you file a new ticket to do that cleanup? Bonus points if you want to submit a pull request to implement it. See:
