Thanks for the script. It removed almost all the unreferenced portfiles and I cleaned up some empty directories, but still left 15 for ports that are not installed (diff'ed /opt/local/var/macports/registry/portfiles/ and /opt/local/var/macports/software/).

MPREGPF=/opt/local/var/macports/registry/portfiles/

./find_unreferenced_portfiles.tcl | while read LINE ; do sudo rm -r $MPREGPF$LINE ; done

ls $MPREGPF | \
while read LINE ; \
do [[ $(ls $MPREGPF$LINE | wc -l | xargs) == 0 ]] \
&& sudo rm -r $MPREGPF$LINE ; done

Is it safe to delete the rest? I haven't manually checked the reg db yet.
