You can reinstall gnome2-lite and run pkg_deinstall -Ri gnome2-lite this will interactively delete the metaport and it's dependencies. If you choose to delete a dependency that is still required it will just fail to delete. sysutils/pkg_cutleaves is another way of handling this, and doing a general clean-up
