Portmaster certainly can't do this, it uses the information from
/var/db/pkg. I'm not sure if portupgrade can do it or not.

Your most likely course of success is to generate a list of ports that
you know you're using ("root" and "leaf" ports in portmaster
terminology), back up any config or other key files from /usr/local,
then delete everything and reinstall.


Good luck,

Doug
