OK - I can use BBEdit to do that - saves a lot of time - neat trick

Edit /opt/local/var/macports/receipts/ffmpeg/0.5_3/receipt.bz2
  change active 1 to active 0

port installed ffmpeg
The following ports are currently installed:
   ffmpeg @0.5_3
   ffmpeg @0.5_3+darwin_10 (active)
   ffmpeg @0.5_4+darwin_10

That works just fine - uninstalled all of the ffmpeg, then installed  
the latest.

Thanks for the pointers.
