Yes, that's how you would remove a port.

Note that everybody who already has the port installed will receive no 
notification that the port has been deleted from the tree, and will continue to 
have the port installed forever, or until they manually decide to "sudo port 
uninstall" it.

What is the port? Is there or will there be a replacement for it in MacPorts? 
If so, don't delete the port immediately, but keep it around for a year or so 
as a stub port marked as "replaced_by" whatever the replacement port is.
