I've just done this and it suggests checking /opt/local/var/db/dports

sources contains one file, _dpupdate1. Is there any reason to move or
keep these files?

I put that "warning" there 'cause of the difficulty of moving the
sources that live in /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/

>_dpupdate1, and which by the way are the ones providing the
selfupdate, from underneath us while selfupdating to their new
location under the much nicer and cleaner /opt/local/var/macports/
sources directory. Therefore I advice users with a concern for order
to go into that evil-named directory I will not try to remember again
and remove them manually, as they are unnecessary after the upgrade.
Stuff under the build dir are most likely empty directories that are
not pruned upon the clean action due to a bug I also corrected in
1.5.0 (yeah, I realize it's pretty clear is my own freakiness for
order that motivated me to fix these things ;-).
