Comment (by ryandesign):

 The pkg installer installs into /opt/local. After you ran `sudo rm -rf
 /opt/local`, everything in /opt/local should be gone, including
 /opt/local/bin/port, so there should be no way for `port version` to still
 respond with `Version: 2.6.2` if that was the only copy of MacPorts that
 you installed.

 You could verify whether anything is still in /opt/local for example by
 running `ls /opt/local` or by using the Finder's '''Go→Go to Folder…'''
 menu item and typing in '''/opt/local'''. If anything remains there, then
 uninstallation was unsuccessful and you should follow the uninstallation
 instructions again, because as far as I know we haven't had any other
 reports of the instructions being wrong.

 If /opt/local is gone but `port version` still responds, that makes me
 think you have another copy of MacPorts installed somewhere else, which is
 why I asked you for the output of `which port` to see where it is.
