Works fine with pkg(8) so long as you tell pkg that all the ports have
been deleted when you nuke /usr/local. Which boils down to either:
a) use pkg(8) to delete everything:
pkg delete -a
(which will actually delete everything except pkg(8) itself. You may
need to 'pkg unlock' stuff beforehand though.) Do this before
nuking /usr/local.
b) move aside your old package database, and start again with a fresh
one. You can do this before or after nuking /usr/local:
cd /var/db/pkg
mv local.sqlite local.sqlite.old
Then after cleaning out /usr/local:
pkg bootstrap -f
and proceed with installing whatever ports you want. Oh, and make sure
you keep a backup of /usr/local/etc somewhere, as you'll inevitably want
to reinstate some of the config files from there.
Cheers,
Matthew
