You mean something you've installed outside the ports/pkg system? I'm afraid the answer is that the only thing you can do is labouriously identify each individual file and manually delete them. There's a couple of tricks you can use to make the job easier -- if you can positively identify some of the files you can extract the timestamp and then hunt for files with a similar timestamp. If you've still got the sources around, you can try installing using a different prefix pointing at an empty directory -- eg. /tmp/something -- supposing that the compile system permits that (all autoconf based source packages do). Then compare what gets installed in there with what's in your /usr/local ports are your friend... trust the ports...
