Yes, and you did "clean all":

Yes, "clean all" is a great thing for the situation you've been running into. 
My guess is that's what's been biting you all over the place: lots of 
incomplete builds that are cropping up as you try to install various packages.

I'd do it again since you have more interrupted builds.

Likely it's unmarked dependencies that are causing your issues. A package built 
against a library because it was available, but after you changed some but not 
others then it was a broken link which MacPorts noticed and attempted to 
reinstall/rebuild them.

I'd recommend deactivating it all again, and rather than saying "install this 
batch", have MacPorts install one at a time completely. This will help cut down 
on how many rebuilds you need to do, and possibly make it more clear where 
there are hidden dependencies.

Attempting to delete /opt won't necessarily help you, since files can be 
installed to /Applications/MacPorts and linked to /Library/ as well. You should 
have MacPorts uninstall it all.
