Yeah, that's what it does.
But to reach that point it first uninstalls the old version and then only notices that that port had installed other stuff in the directory in question.
By that time it already doesn't matter anymore that the new port does not get installed, since all the data of the previous version is already gone and there is no easy way back.

Right now I see already an SDK version 19 approaching… So, I am afraid that my virtual android machines will not be functional after the next port upgrade.

But perhaps I am just missing something with regard to getting those virtual machines back to function.
