Some additional information:

prunille:~> port installed m4
The following ports are currently installed:
  m4 @1.4.4_0 (active)
  m4 @1.4.8b_1+with_default_names

So, the two questions are:

1. Why doesn't upgrade deactivate m4 1.4.4_0 first?

2. Why does uninstall say that m4 1.4.8b_1 is not registered as
   installed while "port installed m4" says it is installed?
