Subject:   Recovering loss of /var/db/pkg ?

I'll just say it plainly:

/var/db/pkg is long gone and there is no backup. It was not copied to  
new a machine.

Is there is any hope of being able to use the ports or packages system in a
meangingful way again?

My sense is that some recovery is possible, but may be prohibitively expensive.

Thanks for any tips!

   Mark
