Basically, ${prefix}/db/dports became ${prefix}/var/macports.

That files appears to say where the Tcl package is. A newer file
should exist on your system in ${prefix}/var/macports/.tclpackage
with the same (well, updated) information. So, safe to delete.

Anything starting with
"_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_d
ports_" is a port build directory. So either you had autoclean turned
off and port didn't automatically clean up build directories, or this
was a failed build at some point. Safe to delete.

These should be the sources of MacPorts itself, which were grabbed
during a selfupdate. Safe to delete, since they'll be fetched again
if needed.
