Small side-question: why is 'inactive' not available from the
interactive console?

Is there a way to get a list of the non-active packages, so one

it, and will start using it from now one ;-)), hence I have a lot
of non-active packages laying around.
Or in short: how can I get rid of non-active packages, for which
new versions are already installed?
Sure:
sudo port uninstall inactive
Note that this won't quite work right in MacPorts 1.6.0: it will
complain that you are uninstalling a dependency of another port,
even though you're not, really -- you have newer versions active
already. In MacPorts 1.7.0 this will work right. Until then, you
need to force it with:
sudo port -f uninstall inactive
