MacPorts would prevent you from uninstalling a port that is needed (as a 
library or runtime dependency) by another port.

If MacPorts allowed you to uninstall a port but rev-upgrade then reported 
something broken, that would be a bug in a port. (A port has forgotten to 
declare a dependency on the port(s) you uninstalled and has opportunistically 
used it. Please file a bug report for each such situation you find so that it 
can be corrected.)
