It should. I cannot explain why for you it does not.
You said you followed the migration instructions. Part of those instructions
are to uninstall all installed ports. If you did this, that would explain why
direwolf is now not installed. However, that would not explain why you are
still able to use the direwolf program; that suggests that it is still
installed.

You haven't shown us the relevant error message. Filing a ticket in the issue
tracker and attaching the entire main.log file is the best way to report bugs.

sudo port uninstall portname
replacing "portname" with the name of the port you want to uninstall.
