That only cleans out the /usr/obj directory tree.  It doesn't remove
any files from anywhere else in the system.

He wants to install FreeBSD, edit make.conf and uncomment a bunch of
NO_* variables to prevent them from being built/install during a world
build, and wants to have a way to remove the existing files from /bin,
/sbin, /usr/bin, etc.

Check the How-To forum at http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/  One of the
members there posted a set of scripts that will parse the NO_*
variables in make.conf, and remove any and all files associated with
those subsystems from an installed system.

The end result is the same as building a custom release and
reinstalling using that release to only get the bits you want, but
without all the hassle of building a custom release.  :)
