 After migrating a macOS install from Catalina to BigSur, all the port came
 with it.

 It is not possible to actually run "port" on the new system to uninstall
 the ports due to:
 {{{
 % port -v
 Error: Current platform "darwin 20" does not match expected platform
 "darwin 19"
 Error: If you upgraded your OS, please follow the migration instructions:
 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration
 OS platform mismatch
     while executing
 "mportinit ui_options global_options global_variations"
 }}}

 So just had to blow them all out with:
 {{{
 % sudo rm -rf \
     /opt/local \
     /Applications/DarwinPorts \
     /Applications/MacPorts \
     /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \
     /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg \
     /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg \
     /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \
     /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \
     /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \
     ~/.macports
 }}}

 but this gives errors trying to run it on BigSur:
 {{{
 zsh: no matches found: /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg
 }}}
 and then
 {{{
 zsh: no matches found: /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg
 }}}


 not sure if there is a way to make zsh silently ignore the "no matches".

 I edited the line manually and then the command ran through and deleted
 everything.
 {{{
 % sudo rm -rf \
     /opt/local \
     /Applications/DarwinPorts \
     /Applications/MacPorts \
     /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \
     /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \
     /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \
     /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \
     ~/.macports
 }}}
