Tried it without success:

pmmbp:~/Documents/Prolog/xsbcvs pmoura$ sudo port -p -f uninstall xsb  
@3.0.1\+_0
Error: port uninstall failed: can't read "revision": no such variable

The version "3.0.1+" comes from the XSB software. I can change it but  
there should be no need of doing it.

Thanks for your suggestions.
