I have found myself having to do that from time to time, for various
reasons, e.g., disk space issues with large builds, odd breakage when
building from Ports that no amount of troubleshooting can fix, e.t.c.
At least FreeBSD gives you both options, so you don't have to rebuild
your entire system from scratch to fix weirdness.
