I just talked to pipping on the IRC channel and he said trying `sudo
port uninstall inactive` worked for him correctly when he tried again.
Incidentally, `port list` is always going to show the current version
of the port, regardless of what you have installed. Try using `port
echo inactive` if you want to see your inactive ports. Alternately
you could use `port installed inactive`, though that's kinda
redundant as anything in the inactive list is known to be installed.
And yes, if the inactive pseudo-portname resolves to nothing, port
list is going to show everything. There may be a way to detect this
condition and get it to show nothing, but I don't know if it's worth
the effort.

"inactive" is somewhat broken, i believe. (that's why i wouldn't
recommend using "sudo port -f uninstall inactive" but a "port
uninstall inactive" first to make sure the right things are
uninstalled.
e.g. i had optipng 0.5.4, upgraded to 0.5.5.
so 0.5.4 is inactive, 0.5.5 is active
"port list inactive" lists optipng 0.5.5
"(sudo) port uninstall inactive" uninstalls optipng 0.5.5
also, "port list inactive" appears to display every single port
there is (yes even those you don't have installed) if you don't
have any inactive ports.
