It depends on what command you issue.  If you try and remove an installed
package which had other packages dependent upon it, then it will fail.

# pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/apache-2.2.4_2/
pkg_delete: package 'apache-2.2.4_2' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
php5-5.2.1_3
php5-mysql-5.2.1_3
php5-pcre-5.2.1_5
php5-posix-5.2.1_3
php5-session-5.2.1_3
php5-simplexml-5.2.1_3
...

But you could force it by using `pkg_delete -f` if you wanted.  This on
its own will not remove the dependancies, you need to use `pkg_delete -rf`
for that.

If you run `make deinstall` from the port directory you get the same
result as having used `pkg_delete -f` (but not -rf).
