Not intentionally.  I don't use curl directly, certainly not enough to know 
which version I need, so it would have been installed at some point with 
"port install curl", possibly later upgraded with "port upgrade curl", and 
then possibly cleaned up with "port uninstall -f outdated" if I saw multiple 
versions of it.

Does MacPorts log any history anywhere?  I don't think it does.  I do see 
two directories in /opt/local/var/macports/receipts/curl:
