You can also read the Guide:

Then you will need to uninstall that python25 and recompile it.

Note that you don't need to recompile MacPorts to change  
applications_dir or most of the other variables. All it does when you  
use --with-applications-dir is that it writes the value of that  
argument to the macports.conf file. So you can edit that file  
yourself later to change the values.

Since the port is already installed (though not activated), you need  
to uninstall it in order to get it to recompile.
