Delete the pkg database, or just ignore it.  The files that are 
installed from base packages are pretty much identical to what you'ld 
get by installing directly, modulo any base packages you decided to 
leave out.  If you do an old-style upgrade on top of a pkgbase system it 
should work just as well as upgrading over a non pkgbase system.
