Please note a clash of terms as there is port action "installed" and port pseudo-portname "installed". That is why "port 
installed" is a valid syntax ("installed" is an action here), while "port active" is not. You have to use action "echo" with 
"active", like "port echo active".

$ port active and perl5
Error: Unrecognized action "port active"
$ port echo active and perl5
perl5                          @5.28.3_0+perl5_30
$ man port
$ port echo installed and perl5
perl5                          @5.26.1_0+perl5_28
perl5                          @5.28.3_0+perl5_28
perl5                          @5.28.3_0+perl5_30

You see how this is at best confusing and at worst user-antagonistic, right?
