I've not used it myself, but there is also a shell script called
distviper in bsdadminscripts which supports both of distclean's modes
without the ruby dependence.

Personally I much prefer the less aggressive mode (distclean -D) which
deletes files unreferenced by the ports tree, rather than unreferenced
by installed ports.
