 How do I remove or uninstall MacPorts?]

 > MacPorts can be removed by issuing the following command from within
 Terminal:

 {{{
 sudo rm -rf \
 /opt/local \
 /Applications/MacPorts \
 /Applications/DarwinPorts \
 /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \
 /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \
 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \
 /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \
 /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg \
 /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg
 }}}

 That assumes a shell such as [[BR]]
 sh

 When the user's shell is [[BR]]
 tcsh [[BR]]
 the result is unexpected, at least the repetition and ? question marks
 appear peculiar.
