The incomplete build you cancelled (sudo port clean whateverportitwas); unless it was a huge port like qt4-mac it shouldn't have eaten anywhere near 1GB, much less 20GB

The distfiles that got downloaded for everything you installed so far (sudo port clean --all all); my approx. 2 years worth of thousands of distfiles occupy 8.8GB so 20GB is also way out of proportion there

I suggest you use a program like Disk Inventory X to tell you where your disk space has gone.
