If you are saying that upgrading is leaving a bunch of inactive old  
versions of ports lying around then why not use

sudo port -d uninstall inactive

to remove them?

If you want to be safe you can always do:

port list inactive

first to see what will go away.

but Im no expert so you may want another opinion.
