I'd be happy with a disclaimer like "If you have an objection to
installing CouchDB through Homebrew, it is also available within the
MacPorts tree."
But, since the ports instructions are substantially incorrect, I don't
see a problem with removing them.

On the other hand, how hard is it to figure out how to type 'sudo
port
install couchdb'?

I just setup a new laptop and used homebrew to install the CouchDB

(spidermonkey & erlang).
Not only was it super fast and painless but I got a newer

(1.8.3) which is something like 30x faster for most of the stuff
we do
with
the view server but I also didn't have to pass any special
parameters to
./configure.
Anyone object to me remove all references to MacPorts in our Mac
install
instructions and replacing with homebrew?
