I'm not sure what you are meaning here but if there is anything that a  
user NEEDS to do after uninstalling a port maybe the port uninstall  
command could pause with the message and wait for confirmation,  
bailing is the user clicks [n].

This isn't a big deal but some people may do something silly like  
"port uninstall installed echo p5-*" not knowing that it's going to  
uninstall everything.
Ok, that was me :) Trying to figure out how to chain port commands.
