Hi,
Very much thanks for very prompt answer.
So, I did reinstall the macports to Sonoma version, and then I
followed this instruction:
https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html
to remove macports completely. However, /opt/local still contains data
(I assume it is all macports related) and it is 2.7GB big.
Then something went wrong. Those instructions include totally removing
/opt/local/ in section 2.4.3.
Can I just remove it manually safely?
If you want MacPorts and everything it ever installed totally gone, yes.
Doing so is part of the uninstall instructions.
Moreover, it seems the uninstall procedure is pretty far from cleaning
everything.
As you can see in section 2.4.3 of the guide, removal of /opt/local
(along with a list of other possible locations where ports could have
left pieces) is explicitly a part of the uninstall procedure. Why that
failed to happen on your system is a mystery.
As I said installation of gmic-gimp port alone took 10GB. Not even
mentioning the other part of macports. Now, after removal of all the
ports, only 3GB of disk space was released. Adding 2.7GB from
/opt/local makes it 5-6GB the top. Are there any other macports’
leftovers I should remove manually?

I know there are some upgrade instructions, but I did not follow them,
I admit. Having the problem with disk space I do not put even more
overhead of it, without being certain that eventually I will get rid
of this extra 10GB space.
Can you help me with my problem to remove gmic-gimp from my drive?
The error message you encountered can be overcome by installing
MacPorts for macOS Sonoma. It should not need any more disk space than
is already being used by MacPorts.
Just remove the complete MacPorts installation (/opt/local), you
can’t use it anyway on a different platform.
Just removing /opt/local is not the correct way to uninstall MacPorts.
The correct way is documented in the MacPorts Guide.
