$ port help select
Usage: select --list --set --show <arguments>

Select between multiple versions of a versioned port

This allows you to choose which version, among several installed versions
of a port, is to be considered primary.  What this means is which version
becomes the one most would consider the default, e.g. the one run without
specifying any version.

One example is the set of python ports, where there are (among others)
python25, python26, and python30.  The select action lets you set which
of these becomes the version run when you simply use 'python'.

<arguments> must include the group upon which to be acted, and may include
a version if --set is used.

--list   List available versions for the group
--set    Select the given version for the group
--show   Show which version is currently selected for the group (default if
         none given)
