I think he meant the ports tree, not necessarily the installed ports. I
use portsnap (normally much quicker than the various CVS methods) and if
I've let it go a few months, it's quicker to blow the whole thing away
and reload from scratch:
rm -r /var/db/portsnap
rm -r /usr/ports
portsnap fetch extract
-R
