This allows the reinstall to find up-to-date dependency origins. If any of the remaining ports are missing you'll have to choose different ports or do without. In your case I suggest that you also check make.conf for anything like PERL_VERSION etc that might be forcing older dependencies. I'd also take the opportunity to go to pkgng either by upgrading to 10-stable or setting WITH_PKGNG=YES in make.conf. If you update to 10 while all the ports are deinstalled it will avoid your having reinstall them again later.
