I figured out the alternatives I have are: Which is easier depends on a) how many total ports b) how many you want to remove c) whether you know exactly which ones need to go If if youy don't know the answer to (c), then it's probably easiest to scrub everything and start over. If you do, and (b) is a large number, ditto. Otherwise: make a list, go to /var/db/pkg, and run pkg_deinstall on each port. One man's opinion, Robert Huffhelp
