The default MacPorts prefix is *not* /opt, it is "/opt/local".
If you delete the entire /opt, you risk throwing away other third-party software that (rightfully) gets installed there... (nothing by Apple though, in a clean Mac OS X / Xcode install) Both of /usr/local and /opt are traditional install locations.
So while removing /opt also "works", it's safer using /opt/local.

I don't know if you've installed anything other than MacPorts in / opt but if you have not, you could probably delete everything in the /opt directory.

In my case there's nothing else in /opt other than MacPorts Best Regards, Bill Hernandez Plano, Texas
