Yes, it is safe to remove them all. Macports now uses python27 by default and 
you can install the py27-* version of those ports if you need them. Personally 
I add +python27 to my variants.conf file to specifically give me that version 
of python. You might also check if you have any ports installed with a python24 
variant with the following command:

port installed | grep python24

Then install those ports with the python27 variant instead.
