I recall someone asking on this or a related thread, how to uninstall all
your ports. This is actually easier than it sounds; go to /var/db/pkg
and say 'pkg_delete *', and keep doing it until the directory is empty. 8)
Note that you may want to watch the error messages so that you can trim
now-unused junk out of $PREFIX, but that's optional.
