yes. Only it is what happened in the past. And now the files in question 
are destrooted, and thus part of the image (as can also be seen in the 
buildbot's log). And that's why port refuses to activate the image: Some files 
contained in it are already present at the target location (unregistered).

The question at hand is how to get rid of the files that have been installed 
without being registered _previously_.

P.S.: Some more clarification: I am not a regular mac or macports user (pretty 
much only for porting RKWard), and so I'm not up to speed on all this. 
However, I am both upstream author, and the debian package maintainer of 
rkward, and so I do know first-hand that rkward's "make install" is designed 
to respect DESTDIR argument. Apparently there used to be a bug (now fixed) in 
either cmake, or R, or something else, that caused the files to be mis-
installed to the system path, anyway, or not registered for any other reason. 
RKWard's upstream installation procedure has not changed in three years, with 
respect to these files.
