Is there some sort of "recursive 'make deinstall'" that will delete a package
and everything it depends on to run or build?

i.e. if I wanted to nuke all of GNOME, if I do:

  cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome && make deinstall

all that will do is delete the "port" for GNOME (which simply pulls in all the
other ports accordingly) but doesn't deinstall the components. How could one
remove all components of GNOME even down to the libraries (I know some
libraries would be needed by other ports)?

I've done this before "manually" but it was certainly tedious.
