rm'ing /opt/local could remove important data. For instance mysql

What are the results of when you issue port -f uninstall installed?

It may be that the port command is not in your PATH.

You can add this to .profile to fix this.

cd ~/
cat .profile
echo "export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH" >> .profile
echo "export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH" >> .profile
source .profile
port version
