Oh, so now you do want it the other way.

In your case, "port uninstall Y" would immediately work
but you also want to remove anything that was installed
because you had also installed Y, that *nothing else* depends on.

I thought you were trying to uninstall something that could
*not* be uninstalled because other things depended on it!

Wow.  Too many close words.
