Comment(by stephen@…):

 I don't have time to mess with this for a few days (in particular, I have
 *not* yet tried the manual update procedure mentioned in ticket #32686),
 so there's no hurry on a response.  But if somebody has advice on what to
 look for, or the SQL needed to rip out a broken DB entry by the roots, I'd
 be very grateful.

 I'm now up to r89291, and the automatic upgrade described in ticket #32686
 is apparently working (other ports can now be handled fine), but it does
 not repair this.  I still cannot upgrade or uninstall py25-wxpython, and
 now I'm seeing this after some but not all ports are upgraded:
 {{{

     # If there are remaining arguments, process those as a command
     set exit_status [process_cmd $remaining..."
     (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 4760)
 }}}
 I'll report back what I find out when I try the manual upgrade.
