is the output from 'port list inactive' expected? it appears to list the active port version and revision rather than the inactive one.

yes it is, although it might be confusing.

to get a list of inactive ports, type

   port echo inactive

port echo that is somewhat odd dont you think

Perhaps. It is, nevertheless, the way that port works.

"port list" certainly behaves exactly as documented in "man port":

   list
If no argument is given, display a list of the the latest version of all available ports. If portname(s) are given as arguments, display a list
     of the latest version of each port.

Perhaps it would be clearer if "port list" were called "port latest". But it's not.
