If `port installed requested` shows things that you don't actually want, tell MacPorts by marking them as not requested:

sudo port unsetrequested portname1 portname2 ...

Then `sudo port reclaim` will be able to uninstall them, if they're not needed for anything else you've installed. Reclaim won't uninstall things it thinks you want.
