The update instructions mention that the user should make a list of 
installed ports, and install ports that where uninstalled after the 
update is done. This was done in this manor so that there would be no 
stale ports left on the system. Adding more would make the instruction 
rather complex. If only vala-vapigen is involved you can remove it with 
"pkg delete -f vala-vapigen" this will only remove this port.
