Hmmmm. I've been using pkg_cutleaves with pkgng for what must be coming 
up to a year and haven't ever seen it do anything strange. Seems to work 
fine to me. It definitely picks appropriate ports to delete and actually 
uninstalls them using the proper pkgng tools. Can you elaborate a bit on 
the weird things?

Strangely I've just looked at the commit logs for the port to see if 
there are any clues as to when it was updated to use pkgng and there are 
none that are obvious.
