If you want to delete all packages that aren't vital to the system's
functioning, just run `pkg delete -a`.  That will leave you with
whatever packages were locked or marked vital (normally FreeBSD-clibs
and FreeBSD-runtime, which contain the most important libraries and
binaries) plus pkg itself (because pkg is hardcoded to never delete
itself unless forced to).
