Once you solve the below, this is what you should tell us more about. What's 
not working?

As you see that doesn't actually reinstall arb; it just tells you it's already 
installed. If you actually want to reinstall arb you need to:

sudo port -n upgrade --force arb

However I don't see any reason to do that at this time, until we hear more 
about what the actual problem is that started you down this path.

Not a good idea. :) To get it back, deactivate and re-activate arb:

sudo port -f deactivate arb
sudo port activate arb
