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.
