Then install MacPorts again, and install the expat port and verify it installs correctly. Do not install the swi-prolog binary package again. If you need swi-prolog, install the swi-prolog port in MacPorts.

Well, my understanding is that the swi prolog binary package installs into /opt/local. Thus, following the MacPorts uninstallation instructions...

http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.uninstalling

...which include completely removing /opt/local, would result in the swi prolog binary package being uninstalled.

If you have some other means of ensuring the swi prolog binary package is uninstalled, by all means follow it, but since it's an Apple Installer package, and Apple Installer doesn't have an uninstall mechanism, I'm not sure what that would be.
