You should be uninstalling everything and then reinstalling it.  To "move on" just try the next thing...  something like this should work.  Note that I just wrote it into this email, so it's not tested and may have a typo, but you get the idea:

port list active | awk '{print $1}' > ${HOME}/macports_list
sudo port -v -f uninstall installed
cat ${HOME}/macports_list | while read f ; do
    sudo rmdir /opt/local/var/macports/software/$f # Not sure if this is still needed...
    [ -e /opt/local/var/macports/software/$f ] || sudo port -v install $f
done
echo "Failed:"
cat ${HOME}/macports_list | while read f ; do
    [ -e /opt/local/var/macports/software/$f ] || echo "    $f"
done
