Given the way you gave the port command:
>> bigdaddy$ sudo
>> /opt/local/bin/port clean guile

I wonder if the bug in macports 1.6 install that failed to setup the  
macports path in your ~.profile has bitten you. if so this bug (and  
many others) is fixed in macports 1.7.  I suggest you download that.   
Im not sure that sudo port selfupdate will run correctly if your PATH  
is not correctly set.
