Well, I tried your first suggestion before I posted, and it only removes 
the meta-port but none of the ports it has installed. The second 
suggestion I have not tried because I want it to do a recursive 
deinstall without touching any ports that are dependencies of other 
installed ports. Maybe it is as simple as pkg_delete -r, but because I 
saw what happend when deinstaling the meta-port I felt I needed to ask 
to be sure. I could ofcourse deinstall kde, kdebase, kdehier and so 
forth but I'm looking for a smarter way to do it.
