The easiest way to get rid of the packages is probably to
type "ls -lart /var/db/pkg" -- it'll list package names,
sorted by time (youngest last), so you just look at the
bottom of the list for those which have been installed in
the past 6 hours.  Then use pkg_delete on them in reverse
order, i.e. bottom-up.  You might get a few warnings
because of dependencies (non-leaf ports) which will not
be removed; you can simply ignore them.

Best regards
