 > Thanks. That is indeed the case. macports.conf was from an old
 installation before my OS was upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.7. Shall I just
 manually replace macports.conf with macports.conf.default?

 You can do that, if you're sure you've made no changes to macports.conf
 that you wanted to keep. Otherwise I suggest you compare the two files
 line by line; for each difference, if you remember a reason for the
 difference, keep your version, otherwise use the version from the new
 default file. Repeat this process every time you upgrade MacPorts base.

 > I probably can make a script to parse the output of 'port -v installed'
 and 'port -f uninstall' the ones with i386 ppc then reinstall them, but
 I'm wondering if there is already a way allowing me do so with 'port' or
 some other tools.

 There are some instructions and a script on the [wiki:Migration] page.
 They're for uninstalling and reinstalling ''all'' ports following the
 migration from Leopard or earlier to Snow Leopard, so you might have to
 adjust the instructions or how you use the script for your case of only
 uninstalling and reinstalling a few select ports.

 > Do I also need to uninstall and reinstall the ones with 'noarch'?

 No need. "noarch" means "no architecture"; these ports build the same on
 every type of Mac so there would be no benefit to rebuilding them.

 I don't find a way to edit the posted messages. Is there a way to do so?

 You cannot edit comments after you've submitted them (only administrators
 can). Use the Preview button before posting to ensure formatting is
 correct.
