Thanks, these are good topics! I added your suggestions to the list in 
the wiki.

But with one exception: I think uninstalling is already covered in the 
FAQ and is not a "daily usage" thing. Is it?

Should we add a "How to uninstall MacPorts" page and just link to that 
from the FAQ page? I don't want to cover that at multiple places, 
because it would tend to get out of sync.
