Thanks Eric. I should've mentioned that I'm familiar with the Migration page. 
As far as I can tell its instructions are for an update of the OS with 
/opt/local still in place, not a reformatted, wiped and clean install.

What's the recommended way to reinstall previously installed ports (in 10.7) 
with all previous port configurations onto a reformatted hard drive running 
10.8?

Thanks,
-Terry
