Comment (by kencu):

 I recall a massive registry file like that on Tiger a few years ago.

 If you do decide to start fresh, I wound up creating a local ports
 archive, reinstalling MacPorts, and then using the archive as the binary
 source to reinstall the ports I wanted.

 This was of course 1000x faster than rebuilding all the ports.
