Subject: can I delete '/usr/ports'? safely?

     I just did an evaluation of used disk space, and found that I've 
     installed all the 'ports' when I set up this new system.
     
     this makes my /usr director at 103%.
     
     I'd like to simply delete all the 'ports', but am wondering how that 
     will impact the system?  I'd then want to re-install only those prots 
     I will actually use.
     
     Anyone else faced this problem?  If so, how did you resolve it?
