The instant-workstation port is a "meta" port. That means it doesn't inst= all anything for itself, but only lists dependencies. When you try to deinsta= ll the port, there's nothing to deinstall. But the dependencies will still b= e there. If you look at the Makefile in instant-workstation, you'll see a list of runtime dependencies. These are what get installed when you install this meta-port. If you need to deinstall these, then you will need to do them = by hand (one drawback to meta-ports). I don't know why acroread didn't get installed. You may try installing it= all by itself and see what error messages you get (the actual port name is acroread4). But I suspect that ghostscript failed because of the checksum mismatch. The ghostscript-gnu port has been updated on a very frequent ba= sis recently, and I suspect that you happen to have an out-of-sync port. The Handbook lists a variety of ways to update your ports collection.
