Comment(by dports@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 stephen@…]:
 > There was a minor glitch in the "upgrade -u" however, texlive_base did
 not get uninstalled "because texlive depends on it", which prevented
 texlive_texmf-{minimal,full} from uninstalling.  With disk sizes these
 days I guess that's not a major problem, but it's a lot of MB that
 "upgrade -u" is supposed to help save.  This would seem to be a port bug.

 I ran into this once too and it does sound like a possible bug in base.
 Filed a new ticket #25355 about it.

 In the meantime, `port -f uninstall texlive_base texlive_texmf-minimal
 texlive_texmf-full` should get rid of the old ports (which are not needed
 for TL 2009)
