I don't understand the question. What are you asking to remove --  
components provided by Mac OS X? or those provided by Xcode? or those  
provided my MacPorts portfiles? or some other components?

Mac OS X is maintained by Apple. You should not remove any part of  
it, else parts of the OS may not work anymore, and/or future OS  
updates may malfunction, and if you call Apple, their advice will be  
to reinstall the operating system.

Xcode is required to build ports. You should not remove any part of  
it, otherwise you would not be able to install new ports or update  
existing ports.

Software installed using MacPorts can be uninstalled using "sudo port  
uninstall <portname>" as long as no other port depends on it.
