Well, I really mean the resulting pkg info from a port.  A good example 
is PHP, sometimes you have to say "everyone out of the pool" because of 
an upgrade:

cd /var/db/pkg && PKGS=`ls | egrep "^(php|pear|pecl)"`; for PKG in 
$PKGS; do echo "---- $PKG"; pkg_delete "$PKG"; done;

Running that a few times until it stops picking things up, then its a 
few commands to re-install PHP and its extensions (because of the 
extensions roll-up port).

You can of course script it further, which is part of why I like FreeBSD 
so much.
