Yes, you can, but it will take significant amount of time. Better
approach would be using portsclean (it's in portupgrade package) - you
can clean stale `work' dirs, unreferenced distfiles, etc. with it. And
to just clean stale `work' dirs you can use something like `rm -rf
/usr/ports/*/*/work'.


HTH,
