Comment(by romulus1@…):

 Thanks for your reply,

 I meant "Can the opt directory be deleted as the complete uninstall
 procedure in this case?" Essentially deleting the opt directory + removing
 the .profile entry specified should be equivalent to running the sudo rm
 -rf  command on a mac OS, right?

 I am researching other sites to get answers to other questions that I have
 pertaining to MacPorts.  The one other question that I just need to ask
 is: does the application track installations as they occur.  Let's say I
 install one of your port packages; I'm guessing that deleting just the opt
 directory would not be sufficient to remove MacPorts in addition to the
 ports, correct?; I am not sure about the command.  If everything goes to
 directory; MacPorts and the ports; then I guess both methods of
 uninstalling would work.
