You can make sure that your /usr/lib directory is clean, by running
the following pre-installworld:
# cd /usr
# mv lib lib.old
# ldconfig -elf /usr/lib.old
# mkdir lib
Then installworld as usual, and if nothing breaks you can delete
/usr/lib.old later.

The /usr/bin problem is a bit more tricky, since you'll have to check
for old files and make sure they can safely go away. A couple of days
ago, I used the following at home:
$ uname -v
FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #13: Tue Feb 11 04:45:48 EET 2003 [...]
$ /bin/ls -l /usr/bin/* | awk '{printf "%3s %2s\n",$6,$7}' | sort | uniq -c
399 Feb 11
$
If the small script above prints more than one date, then the files of
the older date are probably stale, i.e. if the output is:
$ /bin/ls -l /usr/bin/* | awk '{printf "%3s %2s\n",$6,$7}' | sort | uniq -c
399 Feb 11
7 Oct 9
You can check which files are the old ones:
$ ls -l /usr/bin | grep 'Oct 9'
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 100229 Oct 9 15:45 a2p
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 36353 Oct 9 15:45 c2ph
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 64624 Oct 9 15:46 chflags
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 24804 Oct 9 15:46 gprof4
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 100 Oct 9 15:45 joy
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 4528 Oct 9 15:46 key
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 8636 Oct 9 15:46 kzip
In this case, the old files are stale Perl programs from my 4.X -> 5.X
upgrade, after I completely and utterly hosed my -current installation
at home :-) They were removed shortly after my Feb 11 installworld.
