You might want to rebuild your ports to ensure they did not link against
/usr/local.
This probably works for this purpose:
sudo mv /usr/local{,-moved-for-macports}
port echo installed > port-installed.txt
port echo requested and active > port-requested-active.txt
sudo port -f uninstall installed
cat port-requested-active.txt | xargs sudo port install
