If you care much, I recommend you create a list of installed packages,
save your customized config files, blow away /usr/pkg/ and
/var/db/pkg, and reinstall from the list, then copy over your changed
config files.

That's what I do regularly on one system I maintain running -current,
after every update with a version bump. For the packages I have
installed (over 1200) there are no leftover files after pkg_delete'ing
everything (except etc/texmf*).
