Hello,

For the ports part:
pkg_delete -fa
rm -rf /usr/ports/*/*/work

That'll result in a clean system, without any ports, and a wiping
workdirs. If you also want to remove the currently specified OPTIONS,
than also wipe /var/db/ports/ .

man pkg_delete; and man ports will help you understand what are these
command doing.
