We have a clean install of 10.5 and update to 10.5.1.

Some installs work, others don't

[mac27:~/sun/info] bmcinnes% sudo port uninstall gimp
Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: gimp not registered as
installed.

That looks normal to me. Or did you believe you had the gimp port
installed? What is the output of "port installed"?

Ok, so "gimp" is not installed, so it's normal that "sudo port uninstall gimp" would produce an error message.

[mac27:~/sun/info] bmcinnes% sudo port install gimp2
Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name
"destroot.violate_mtree"
[mac27:~/sun/info] bmcinnes% sudo port install gnuplot
Password:
Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name
"destroot.violate_mtree"
[mac27:~/sun/info] bmcinnes%

destroot.violate_mtree was added in MacPorts 1.5.1 and improved quickly
in 1.5.2.

You installed 1.5.0 from the disk image for Leopard, I presume? Did you
then "sudo port selfupdate" to upgrade to 1.5.2? I mean, "port" says
you're running 1.520, a.k.a. 1.5.2, but its behavior matches that of
1.5.0. So this is odd.

Yes I installed the 1.5.0 dmg via the GUI, the  have done multiple
port selfupdate
[mac27:~] root# port selfupdate
MacPorts base version 1.520 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.520
The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated
selfupdate done!
[mac27:~]

The only thing I can see which shouldn't be a problem was I installed
into /opt/local, then tarred to another partition, and have a sym link
form /opt/local to the moved files. I did an rsync as well.

The symlink might be ok, but I've never tried it that way.

What do you mean, you did an rsync as well? What did you rsync, using what command?

I can do it all again, after removing all the files ?

I did some installs using options otherwise they would not install

sudo port install tiff -macosx

You shouldn't need to do that. The macosx variant is automatically enabled on Mac OS X. I have installed tiff with +macosx with no problems. What problems did you encounter?

sudo port install ImageMagick +no_x11 +perl

then just tried to download hdf5 and all the science ports.
