New description:

 Probably shouldn't be getting these complaints:

 {{{
 $ sudo port upgrade installed
 --->  ettercap-ng is replaced by ettercap
 --->  Computing dependencies for ettercap
 --->  Cleaning ettercap
 Warning: No port ncursesw found in the index.
 Warning: No port render found in the index.
 --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
 --->  No broken files found.
 }}}

 It would seem those two are not, (or are no longer), dependencies:

 {{{
 $ port deps ettercap
 Full Name: ettercap @0.8.0_0+gtk+plugins
 Build Dependencies:   cmake, pkgconfig
 Library Dependencies: openssl, libpcap, libnet11, ncurses, pcre, zlib,
 gtk2, curl, libtool
 }}}

Comment:

 The ncursesw and render ports were deleted many years ago. render was
 renamed to xorg-renderproto, and the functionality of the ncursesw port
 was merged into the ncurses port. You can simply uninstall the ncurses and
 render ports; they are no longer needed.

 When ports get renamed or merged into other ports, we make an upgrade path
 available so that "sudo port upgrade outdated" will do the right thing,
 but we only leave that in place for one year or so, and then delete the
 old port. In the case of ncursesw, its functionality was rolled into
 ncurses in r76622 (3 years ago) and the upgrade path was deleted in r91972
 (2 years ago). render was renamed to xorg-renderproto in r41785 (over 5
 years ago), and the upgrade path was deleted in r44924 (5 years ago).

 Note that "sudo port upgrade installed" is not the command you should
 usually run. Usually, you should run "sudo port upgrade outdated"; doing
 so would avoid the warning messages you saw.
