Limiting the size of /opt/local/var/db/dports/software

sudo port -f uninstall inactive

To prevent having inactive versions of ports in the future, pass the - 
u switch when upgrading. This will force it to uninstall the old  
version before activating the new (remember to pass -f as well, or it  
may fail at the uninstalling of the old version due to dependencies;  
I believe you need -n as well at this point, or the -f will make it  
try and upgrade all dependencies whether or not they need it)
