Yes it would remove those ports if you answered "u" for uninstall instead of 
"k" for keep.

port_cutleaves doesn't know what ports you want and what ports you don't want. 
It only knows what ports don't have any dependents (any ports installed that 
depend on them); these are the candidates for uninstallation that are presented 
to you.

You may wish to make use of the exclude feature, where you can write a list of 
ports (regular expressions, actually) in the file ~/.port_leaves.exclude that 
you wish port_cutleaves not to suggest to you. I explain this in more detail 
here:
