We should probably at least document the dscl commands for removing the user and group in the uninstallation instructions in the guide.

No need to shout. When reporting a bug, it is typical to describe the undesired behaviour and the behaviour that should occur instead, not just ask a tech support type question.

Duplicate of #33697.
The same way you delete any other user or group; with dscl. Closing as this is not a bug report. Please use a more appropriate venue for such question in future: http://www.macports.org/contact.php
