well this is my build server as well as my workstation, so i have many 
packages that ive built that i require for my servers, that might not be 
installed on my workstation.  portsclean -P would probably purge off a lot of 
things that i still need.

if anything turns up at all, it will probably have to be some sort of shell 
script (of which i have almost 0 talen for).
