I need to free up some space and now I see that the /opt folder has

(because there are too many), is there a way to uninstall all
inactive ports?
In addition to uninstalling inactive ports, you may want to clean out
your distfiles. There will be many distfiles for old versions of
ports which you don't need anymore, and you don't even need the
current versions anymore, since you've already installed the ports.
To see how much space the distfiles are occupying, try running
cd /opt/local/var/macports
du -sh distfiles
You can clean it up by simply removing everything in the directory
(though don't delete the directory itself):
cd /opt/local/var/macports
sudo rm -rf distfiles/*
