Migrating to Yosemite---cannot run 'port -qv installed' after OS upgrade

[Carlo Tambuatco]

When you upgrade a port, everything it depends on gets updated first,
right? What doesn't get upgraded should not affect what does get upgraded
during the configure/build/install/activate phase, right? So how is using
-u different from uninstalling everything and reinstalling everything again?
