Anbd if there's still stuff in the installed ports directory
left over - pkg_delete will inform you about that - you can
still use rm -r for a complete delete; anyway, pkg_delete
should be the first step. If you use portupgrade, you should
additionally run "pkgdb -aF" after using pkg_delete, so its
package database keeps being up to date.
