Yes, that's exactly what it means. This is a design decision which allows you to roll back to an older version if there are problems with the new one. > Should I worry about uninstalling the _0 and _1 ports ?

You can uninstall older versions with `sudo port uninstall name @version` (just copy & paste the name and version from the output of `port installed`). Or you can uninstall all inactive versions at once with `sudo port uninstall inactive`. If you wish, you can use the -u option when upgrading to immediately uninstall the old versions after installing the new ones.
