Comment (by ryandesign):

 The size of the registry should be proportional to the amount of data in
 it, which would depend on how many ports you have installed, how many
 files those ports install, and so on. For example, on one of my machines
 running Monterey with 960 ports installed, my registry.db is 117MB. How
 many ports do you have installed? Do any of them contain a very large
 number of files? You should be able to reduce the size of the registry by
 installing inactive ports and any other ports you don't need.
