There is actually a utility, included with the portupgrade port, that removes unneeded src tarballs from distfiles and packages from packages/All, as well as cleaning your tree. by 'uneeded' i mean, either old or not currently installed.

sudo portsclean -C -DD -L -P
For more details,
man portsclean
