You previously mentioned a lot of disk space being used in /opt/local/var/macports/software. We decided that was normal, since the buildbot scripts don't uninstall ports but only deactivate them, so that they can be easily reactivated later. Did you check whether this directory perhaps contains all previous versions of a port? If so, that would be an opportunity for cleanup. For example, check if /opt/local/var/macports/software/graphviz-devel contains numerous archives, or only the one for the current version 2.39.20140425.0445. On the other hand, it could just be that as we add more and more new ports to our collection, we’re going to need more and more disk space to store the archives. Each new version of llvm/clang, for example, takes another 1GB of disk space.

You can watch the old versions being uninstalled in the cleanup step. I
really doubt they're going to be there.
