Dear Sarah,

The info at https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.uninstalling
only says that uninstalling is a drastic step in the context of trying to
solve some issue with macports (i.e. it could probably solved without
uninstalling). But there is no problem with uninstalling macports
otherwise. You can just follow the steps at that link.

Best,
David
