"How do I remove or uninstall MacPorts?
MacPorts can be removed by issuing the following command from within  
Terminal:

sudo rm -rf /opt/local /Applications/DarwinPorts /Library/Tcl/ 
darwinports1.0 /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup

Please note that this command removes all software installed using  
MacPorts as well as MacPorts itself. This includes configuration  
files for any ports which were installed; if you need to keep them,  
back them up before the rm (they should be in /opt/local/etc).

This command does not remove files installed to locations outside the  
agreed directory tree. Thus ports that write in other places should  
be removed manually before removing MacPorts altogether. This  
includes at least xfig and transfig, but probably other X11 ports as  
well.

sudo port uninstall xfig; sudo port uninstall transfig"
