Thank you. I've been studying the ports section of the handbook. I'll look at the
methods listed for updating the ports, and I'll get Acroread.

The instant-workstation port is a "meta" port. That means it doesn't install
anything for itself, but only lists dependencies. When you try to deinstall
the port, there's nothing to deinstall. But the dependencies will still be
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 basis
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.
