Yes, just like Skip said:

   sudo rm -r /Library/Frameworks/AquaTerm.framework/Aquaterm
   sudo port install aquaterm

You could also just tell MacPorts to force the installation:

   sudo port -f install aquaterm

For any file that MacPorts wants to install that already exists, it  
will first rename the existing file, and tell you about it. You can  
then manually remove those renamed files later if you want.
