Then something went wrong. Those instructions include totally removing 
/opt/local/ in section  2.4.3.

If you want MacPorts and everything it ever installed totally gone, yes. 
Doing so is part of the uninstall instructions.

As you can see in section 2.4.3 of the guide, removal of /opt/local 
(along with a list of other possible locations where ports could have 
left pieces) is explicitly a part of the uninstall procedure. Why that 
failed to happen on your system is a mystery.
