Here is another way you migh wish to consider is you want to be left
with just the base system:
rm -r /usr/local
rm -r /usr/X11R6
rm -r /var/db
Note: I don't recomend this, there are far better ways to rebuild all ports
such as (sysutils/portmanager)
portmanager -u -f
As far as I know the world will not be effected by removing the above
directories and if it is likely that is something that should be reported
through a PR (problem report).

/var/db/pkg/{portname}/+CONTENTS is a packing list for each installed port.

Might want to learn how to set up xorg.conf for your specific card, its up to
you to do the research on how, try googling for your card + FreeBSD

portmanager x11/gnome2 ( add -f to force rebuilding of all dependencies,
likely you won't need to do this.) is another way to build gnome if you want
to avoid using the script.
