I deleted all installed packages to clear up the mess, I've not
worked up the nerve to play about with ports again but I do
need to in the future as I have a few ports to submit + maintain.

Is it safe to mix ports and packages? I would like to use binary
packages for the majority but I can see that I'm going
to have to use ports for a couple of applications that I use that
don't have binary packages.
