Portmaster -s will cull ports that are "no longer depended on".
Seems to work fairly well.
You can (probably) find the list of ports that you installed
deliberately by trawling through /var/db/pkg for those that
don't have a +REQUIRED_BY file. (The portmaster -s trick works
by finding ports that have a +REQUIRED_BY file that is empty, I
believe.)
