Comment(by dluke@…):

 Note that it's pretty easy to do this yourself even if there's not a
 script provided.

 I've been doing something like the following since back in the darwinports
 days:

 $ port installed | grep p5 | cut -f 3 -d " " > perl_ports.txt
 $ foreach i (`cat perl_ports.txt`)
 foreach -> sudo port -d -v -f uninstall $i
 foreach -> sudo port -d -v -f clean --archive $i
 foreach -> end

 ...

 $ foreach i (`cat perl_ports.txt`)
 foreach -> sudo port -d -v install $i
 foreach -> end
