Removing these files will very likely break your upgrade to the next
MacPorts version. The upgrade process will run a script that uses a
condition you fulfilled by removing these files to trigger more work,
which will fail because you're not actually in the situation the
script expects you to be.

You'll get to keep the pieces.

TL;DR: These files are needed. Do not remove them. Do not tamper with
MacPorts' internals.
