Where do these messages come from? MacPorts never runs these queries, and these
tables should not be present in the MacPorts registry database.

The conversion from Portfiles stored in the registry directly to Portfiles stored
in the filesystem but referenced for the registry has apparently not been run
correctly on your system. MacPorts should have done that automatically when it
changed the database schema (and the corresponding handling code) accordingly.

I'm not sure what that hasn't happened for you. Did you at some point jump between
MacPorts versions, restore the database from a backup or something related?
