Uninstalling MacPorts won't help (if you follow the usual instructions),
this is a shell configuration file issue. It sounds similar to what was
reported in this ticket: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17588>

>From a quick glance at the man page, it doesn't appear that tcsh will
read .bash_profile, so that won't be the problem. If it's the same
problem as in the ticket, a new .tcshrc will have been created with the
MacPorts environment stuff, thus causing .cshrc to be ignored. The
solution would thus be to combine .tcshc and .cshrc into one file.
