Well, first of all, you can clean your ports build directory. You can do this individually for the directory of each port that you have build, but if you no longer remember all of them, and if you want to make sure that you don't forget anything, simply do: cd /usr/ports make clean That may take a while, but it should help. Additionally, you can delete everything found under /usr/ports/distfiles. However, if you decide to re-build one of your already installed ports, the files in there would be needed again, and since they are no longer there, FreeBSD would try to fetch them from the Internet (which is not a problem at all, but takes a little longer than if the necessary files would still be on your HD).
