`sudo port -f uninstall installed`, then follow the instructions at:

MP is designed not to interfere with previously installed software.

Looking at recent tickets and commits, this appears to be caused by
programs incorrectly linking against the system X11, as opposed to the
libraries they depend on, which link against MacPorts X11. This seems to
have been caused by using the system-supplied imake instead of the imake
port.

Which port are you seeing this with?
