You mentioned disk space was small.
$ man port
/leaves
/clean
You can remove work files, distfiles and logs with something like this:
$ sudo port clean --all installed
or
$ sudo port clean --all all
You can uninstalled installed ports that are unrequested and have no dependents.
$ port echo leaves
$ port uninstall leaves
