I've just done this and it suggests checking /opt/local/var/db/dports

I put that "warning" there 'cause of the difficulty of moving the

order to go into that evil-named directory I will not try to
remember again and remove them manually, as they are unnecessary
after the upgrade. Stuff under the build dir are most likely empty
directories that are not pruned upon the clean action due to a bug
I also corrected in 1.5.0 (yeah, I realize it's pretty clear is my
own freakiness for order that motivated me to fix these things ;-).

Forgot to say... unless you want to preserve the contents of some
still in the process of building port (like a completed destroot),
you shouldn't worry about completely wiping the build directory,
everything within it is "re-createable" with port commands... with
maybe some wasted cpu cycles, yes ;-)
