To uninstall macports entirely, I use the three commands below in a script (which I assume I got from the manual, but it's been awhile, I do not recall), but they work just as well one at a time:
sudo port -vfp uninstall --follow-dependencies installed
sudo port -vfp uninstall all
sudo rm -rf /opt/local /Library/Tcl/macports*
