Yes, because with the port name set to "ASSP" it is trying to  
download from "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ASSP" which doesn't  
exist. "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/assp" is where you need to  
download from, hence you need to either name the port "assp" or set  
the master_sites to "sourceforge:assp". "master_sites sourceforge" is  
equivalent to "master_sites sourceforge:${name}"

Most ports install all over ${prefix} so there is no command for that.

"port uninstall ASSP" should always uninstall all files registered to  
your port. If it doesn't, then the files were not registered to the  
port.

I assume the portfile you posted above is incomplete because it  
doesn't work for me; it says "make: *** No rule to make target  
`all'.  Stop." So I can't test this issue for you.

Yes, this is normal. As far as I know, MacPorts takes care of this on  
all operating systems so it's not Mac OS X-specific.
