Not easy.  You'ld have to delete the pkg port, undo any additional
configuration you may have added to eg. /etc/make.conf (ie. remove
WITH_PKGNG settings), undo any patches to portmaster (if you're using
that) and then reinstall all your ports using the original package tools
to rebuild /var/db/pkg/ contents.

/usr/sbin/pkg is part of base nowadays.  You don't want to delete that.

	Cheers,
