Comment (by mouse07410):

 @Joshua, first - thank you for answering my pretty vague cry for help. I
 have to admit I triple-earned the title of "stupid":
 - being inattentive, screwed up the existing installation, probably by
 allowing two port updates to start at the same time;
 - being in a hurry to recover Macports, rushed to delete too much, thus
 burning the possibility of "peaceful" resolution;
 - just plain forgot that there are good backups available.

 Your post reminded me that I all I need to do is restoring from the
 backup. Which I successfully did - **thank you**!

 It would be great if there were tools to repair and/or restore Macports
 registry either from {{{/opt/local/var/macports/software}}} or from what's
 in {{{/opt/local/bin}}}. But I admit that restoring form a backup worked
 perfectly well.

 Thanks again! I guess this ticket can be closed.
