Description 

port list outdated

always issues the warining 

Warning: The 'list' action only shows the currently available version of each port. To see installed versions, use the 'installed' action.

The installed packages and the outdated ones are two different things. Suggesting to use installed instead of outdated is like comparing apple to oranges.

The warning is not telling you to replace “outdated” with “installed”. It’s recommending that you use “installed” instead of “list”, like so: 

% port installed outdated

The point is that port list tells you what’s available, while port installed tells you what’s actually installed. The warning has nothing to do with “outdated”.
