Yes, it is safe to remove them all. Macports now uses python27 by default and you can install the py27-* version of those ports if you need them. Personally I add +python27 to my variants.conf file to specifically give me that version of python. You might also check if you have any ports installed with a python24 variant with the following command:

port installed | grep python24

Then install those ports with the python27 variant instead. 


Cheers!
