That went OK.

This terminated with my "standard error"--a reference to non-existing  
directories possibly caused by spaces in the path name. Just for  
completeness, here it is again:

Unless someone has another idea, I think I'll start from scratch. I  
assume I can just delete /opt/local but there is probably a way to  
delete only installed ports without deleting the port system itself.

Thanks for all your help.
