I'd also like to point out I user pkg_rmleaves to perform this task.
This is easier than doing it by hand using pkg_delete and less error
prone. You could, obviously, also have portmaster adn portupgrade
perform the task, but they'd update a whole lot more ports which don't
really need to be rebuilt.(like the perl interpreter itself)
