Can I uninstall xcode 4 after installing the required macports?

[Dontino]

if say at a later date I wish to install other ports, can I just reinstall
xcode and then it would work?

I suppose xcode is only needed for installation? Hence am I right that
uninstalling a port wouldn't require xcode?

Dontino
