This is intended. If you want to remove the old version then just type
"port uninstall apache2 @2.2.4_0" (as example to remove the old apache2
installation).

But if you notice problems with a new version then it can be useful to
have an old version still around. Then you can simply do the following
to use the old version again (again for apache2 as example).

port deactivate apache2
port activate apache2 @2.2.4_0

Then the old version is used and the new one is deactivated.

Hope this helps,
Simon
