Sorry, you have to reinstall all the ports by hand.

You can use pkg_which (part of portupgrade) to identify files that are
not registered by any package in /var/db/pkg, and then try to work out
which package installed them.

Obviously, you should look into regularly backing up your system once
you get it back together.
