Those are preserved old versions, from `port upgrade` --- so, if something
is broken for you in the new version, you can easily roll back.

`sudo port uninstall inactive` will clear them. If you decide you don't
want to keep them at all, use `sudo port -u upgrade outdated`.

I generally let them pile up over 3-4 upgrades and then remove all at once
before selfupdate.
