Yes, but... Don't use 'portmaster -af'. It is faster to get a list of installed ports, delete them all, then reinstall. There is a procedure at the end of the portmaster man page to do that, but it still refers to the old pkg_ commands. I have a PR which updates that procedure for pkg: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191166 Or you can use ports-mgmt/poudriere to build your own packages.
