Comment (by afb@…):

 The rpm45, apt-rpm, poldek, and yum-arch ports are abandoned/obsoleted and
 can be deleted...

 The others are just outdated, but there is no major reason to keep all 7
 versions of rpm around:

 * rpm
 * rpm45
 * rpm50
 * rpm51
 * rpm52
 * rpm53
 * rpm54

 Especially not when there is no interest in doing packaging for MacPorts,
 like with OpenDarwin ?

 I don't think anyone is actively using the "port rpm" command, all
 preferring the .tbz2 archives
