This becomes simpler with the interactivity code that's currently on
master and scheduled for 2.4. If you run 'port uninstall $port' and you
have multiple versions installed, you'll get a list and a prompt to
select which versions to uninstall.

'inactive' never matches active versions, so this is already the case
when you run sudo port uninstall inactive?
