Comment(by dluke@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 tommyd@…]:
 > Ok, then the "inactive" selector makes either no sense for `port list`
 or `port list` should gain another column which shows the version of the
 actually listed port, no?

 No, it just doesn't work the way you expect.

 'list' tells you the latest version of a port or ports.

 'inactive' expands to all of your inactive ports.

 'port list inactive' tells port to give you the latest versions of all of
 your inactive ports.

 you really want 'port echo inactive'
