I don't think so... you want to uninstall the ports on which dokuwiki depends (its dependencies), not the ports that depend on dokuwiki (its dependents). Try just uninstalling dokuwiki itself, then uninstalling the leaves (the ports on which nothing depends -- that have no dependents). You may want to first look at the list of ports MacPorts considers leaves, to make sure there isn't anything in there that you want to keep. sudo port uninstall dokuwiki port installed leaves sudo port uninstall leaves > Incidentally, is there any other documentation on macports besides the guide > and the port manpage?
