Um, don't expect this to work nicely.
First, pkg_version -aI lists all installed packages. pkg_delete <package
name> deletes the package. Distribution sets (from /stand/sysinstall)
cannot be removed easily. I'd scan the file system for stuff you sure
never want to see again. To locate space hogs, du -k / | sort -n , then
decide which piece you never want to see again.
