The portupgrade port will install portsclean which can clean up working directories and remove distfiles that aren't referenced by any installed port. There's another port* command I can't recall the name of that will list ports that are not required by any other port which you can then decide if you want to remove. Might be an option to pkg_info, I really don't remember. -philip
