100% sure... I have tried to rebuild world but I still end up with an empty
/usr/local.. Prior to upgrading from 8.0-RELEASE, the directory has the
usual files and directories, but after the upgrade, its empty. Good thing is
that I had not installed any ports.

I'd like to avoid a reinstall, which is why I was wondering if there is a
way I can get this directory back with its files and directories.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
