But I think it can be made to do what Yann wants. You can pkg_delete the 
original package/port (A as he described it). Then run pkg_rmleaves 
(possibly more than once) and it will delete B and D, but keep C because 
it's not a leaf. If you have any leaf packages that you don't want to 
delete, you need to be careful of those. Perhaps run pkg_rmleaves before 
deleting A and note any pre-existing leaves.
