No, chances are, 1.2.10 overwrote everything in 1.2.7.  In the future, you
can use pkg_delete to remove installed ports or packages.  If you wanted,
you could remove 1.2.7 and 1.2.10, and install 1.2.10 again.  There is
also a great ports/packages management tool called portupgrade in
/usr/ports/sysutils.  You might want to check that out to help you manage
your installed software.
