To prevent having inactive versions of ports in the future, pass the -u switch when upgrading. This will force it to uninstall the old version before activating the new (remember to pass -f as well, or it may fail at the uninstalling of the old version due to dependencies; I believe you need -n as well at this point, or the -f will make it try and upgrade all dependencies whether or not they need it)

It seems needlessly large. I've tried:
port clean --all installed
but that doesn't seem to do what I thought it did. I don't think there's any need for 3 built versions of Imagemagick for instance.
Granted, its not the biggest offender in the world, but it seems like a needless waste of space.
