interactions with libraries I had already installed into /usr/local

Clue ...!
OK ... so a bunch of my ports were probably built using things in /
usr/local -- and this isn't useful.
Is there a quick way I can tell ports to build everything again?
No... And in this case, it's MacPorts itself that was built against
readline, so you'll have to reinstall MacPorts. You could download
the 1.5.0 disk image from www.macports.org and install it, then you
should (provided you've moved /usr/local out of the way) be able to
selfupdate to 1.5.2.
Is there a better way to have code built from source in /usr/local
and other code built with ports (that use some libraries in common)
and not have them interact without temporarily renaming /usr/local?
No... I recommend you have nothing directly in /usr/local. If
possible, install that software with MacPorts as well. If no
portfiles exist, you could write them and contribute them to the
project. Portfiles are fairly easy to write. You can look at how the
existing portfiles are written, or read the new manual that's being
developed.
