Introduction. MacPorts is an easy to use system for compiling, installing, and managing open source software. MacPorts may be conceptually divided into two main parts: the infrastructure, known as MacPorts base, and the set of available ports.
If no archive is available, MacPorts will fall back to building from source. This can happen for a number of reasons: Each port is only prebuilt with its default set of variants. So if you specify different variants when installing, the port will be built from source.
The easiest way to install MacPorts on a Mac is by downloading the pkg or dmg for Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, Snow Leopard, Leopard or Tiger and running the system's Installer by double-clicking on the pkg contained therein, following ...

"port list installed" does not do what you think it does. "port list installed" gets the list of names of all the installed ports, and for each one, shows you the current version, regardless of what version is installed.
To see the versions that are installed, you want to use "port installed".
The inactive versions are older ports that have been replaced by newer ones that are active.
port list inactive shows the ports that are not used any more and in your case should show one of each duplicate (or 2 or triplets etc)
port uninstall inactive will remove the inactive ports and leave you with just one.
