If only it were so easy. I installed 5.14.1 by choice (it was the latest at that time), but the others got installed because some port or the other was tied to a different version, and once a port uses a particular version as a dependency, it installs it even if a later one is available.

What I don't understand is why I have more than one "active." Actually, I don't even understand the implication of that.

perl of late has been non-binary compatible with earlier versions hence all your XS, etc compiled with say, GCC need re-compiling to work.

The simple difference between active & inactive is that the active port is just that & the inactive port is the old port no longer being used or required. Check the MacPorts user guide at their site for the full details of how to clean out inactive ports. It’s really simple.
