Sounds like you had an old (very old) MacPorts installation that needed to be updated, so it was dutifully doing that.

Since it seems the installation was so old you may have forgotten about it, you might as well just blow the whole thing away and deal with any non-/opt/local collisions as they arise (by issuing `port -f activate X` at the time). I'd see if there are any other suggestions before blowing the whole thing away, but my guess is you have a lot of very old packages installed still.
