From my point of view, the danger is that these filenames occur in some different list in /opt/local, unknown to me, and that this list would be corrupted if I simply delete the broken symlinks using /bin/rm .

I don't think "port select" registers its links anywhere.

These files are created by the python select group. You ought to be able to delete them.

I initially thought that these were created by ipython and ipython2, but their base files seem to disagree, so I don't know where these are from.

I assume these are parts of "libpng" and "qt4-mac" or "qt4-x11". See what this tells you:

	find -L /opt/local -type l -exec port provides {} +
