That's a bug. Software managed by MacPorts should not be able to update
other than through MacPorts.

That doesn't explain why you couldn't just force-install over those
files.

Now I don't get why this happens. If the Android SDK stores the list of
your virtual machines in a file managed by MacPorts that's a bug in the
port and should be fixed. If the Android SDK doesn't store the list of
VMs in a MacPorts-managed file I don't see why it should just work after
upgrading.
