If you perform a clean reinstallation from the version you compiled with 
the appropriate /etc/make.conf flags defined, then try doing a:

	find / -mtime +10

You cannot.  You can change what constitutes the "base system" as 
discussed above, but the base system is one "package" and is not divisible.
