Error installing gnuplot/aquaterm

I am sorry if this is a silly question, but I am trying to install gnuplot (I am running Mac OS Sierra, recently updated and performed the MacPorts migration) and am getting the error shown below.  Aquaterm is needing to be installed and that seem to be where it is hanging up.

Error: org.macports.activate for port aquaterm returned: Image error: /Applications/MacPorts/AquaTerm.app/Contents/Info.plist already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port aquaterm. Use 'port -f activate aquaterm' to force the activation.
Error: Failed to install aquaterm
Please see the log file for port aquaterm for details:
