Comment:

 Looks like the corrected instructions are adapted from the
 [wiki:FAQ#HowdoIremoveoruninstallMacPorts FAQ].

 The FAQ still lists /etc/manpaths.d/macports and /etc/paths.d/macports as
 needing removal but I have a feeling the code that installs those items
 got removed from MacPorts trunk, and was never in a released version of
 MacPorts. So maybe that can be removed from the FAQ at some point. OTOH
 the uninstall instructions currently include commands that are supposed to
 remove ''any'' version of MacPorts, so maybe we should leave it in.
