I rather fear it is, I install from packages mostly (with one or two ports carefully added in where I want changes to the defaults) and I find I have multiple versions of all sorts of things. One thing I did notice was that after the quarter shifted I wound up with some oddities like python 3.6 and 3.7 and a raft of py36 and py37 packages mostly duplicated - a little digging with pkg info revealed that the 3.6 ones had nothing depending on them and I was able to remove them without ill effect. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith
