I've just done this and it suggests checking /opt/local/var/db/dports and move the left-overs manually. Looking in there I can see two directories, build and sources. build contains a lot of stuff and sources contains one file, _dpupdate1. Is there any reason to move or keep these files?

I put that "warning" there 'cause of the difficulty of moving the sources that live in /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ <name_I_never_remember__one_of_the_reasons_why_I_renamed_it ;-)
_dpupdate1, and which by the way are the ones providing the selfupdate, from underneath us while selfupdating to their new location under the much nicer and cleaner /opt/local/var/macports/ sources directory. Therefore I advice users with a concern for order to go into that evil-named directory I will not try to remember again and remove them manually, as they are unnecessary after the upgrade. Stuff under the build dir are most likely empty directories that are not pruned upon the clean action due to a bug I also corrected in 1.5.0 (yeah, I realize it's pretty clear is my own freakiness for order that motivated me to fix these things ;-).

Forgot to say... unless you want to preserve the contents of some still in the process of building port (like a completed destroot), you shouldn't worry about completely wiping the build directory, everything within it is "re-createable" with port commands... with maybe some wasted cpu cycles, yes ;-) Regards,... -jmpp
