It's not exactly what you're looking for, but you could run: port
uninstall inactive and actinact

"actinact" is only those ports that have an active version as well as
an inactive version. Combining it with "inactive" means install any
inactive ports that also have an active version. I use it after
running "upgrade outdated" to remove the old versions of ports, while
leaving in place anything that I've manually left inactive.
