Not quite.
Some ports install startup items (and even new users).
By default, MacPorts may also have installed stuff in
/Library/Tcl and /Applications/MacPorts.
When installing MacPorts, you can put everything in /opt/local (as I
do)
by using the options seen with configure --help.
I misspoke. I do understand that users and groups may be left as well
as startup/launchd items.
That said, I see this being part of my problem.
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /usr/

bin/c2ph already exists and does not belong to a registered port.
By default, MacPorts should not try to install anything in /usr/share.
Try the following:
* which port
* The command should result in /opt/local/bin/port
* If so, open the file /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf
* Look at the value of prefix
Everything is as you state. I didn't alter prefix in my previous
install nor my new install.
I just uninstalled everything using "port uninstall installed".
Removed "/opt" and "/Libraray/LaunchDaemons/org.macports*" and
reinstalled macports.
port -v install perl5
ends with this

If someone can shed some light I would be very grateful.
Thank you for the reply,
