Yes, you should remove things in those directories. Their presence can 
interfere with some software in MacPorts that may look for files specifically 
in those locations, regardless of your PATH. Once you've removed things from 
those directories, of course, having those directories in your PATH serves no 
purpose so you can remove them from your PATH as well; see below:

You probably mean they keep getting added every time you make a new terminal 
window, probably because your terminal startup script says to do so; edit that 
script and remove the lines that do that. Likely files are ~/.bashrc, 
~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile...
