I strongly suggest using the ports/packages whenever possible. The only way to delete a package you compiled yourself is from the original sources and make uninstall. Or you have to go in and delete the files by hand (yuck). If you stick with the ports you can use portupgrade to manage them which does a very good job of keeping the depends in tact.
