did you do all the folowing when removing macports?

MacPorts can be removed by issuing the following command from within  
Terminal:

sudo rm -rf \
/opt/local \
/Applications/MacPorts \
/Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \
/Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup

On a previous occasion, I had failed to remove the LaunchDeaemons and  
Tcl items and got problems.


and btw you know your PATH has to include /opt/local/bin and /opt/ 
local/sbin do you not?

good luck!
