Well, you could do an installworld and then go through the various system directories like /bin, /usr/bin etc. to see which files have changed and which didn't - obviously the ones that didn't will not be needed anymore. ls -ltr is a handy tool, find(1) should also be able to help you. I've been doing this on a semi-regular basis with my tracking of -STABLE; there's a lot of cruft left over if you don't do something like this.
