For once I'd have to disagree with Bruce about the right way to do this.
The right way is to have a packaging list, and to be able to pkg_upgrade
from /usr/src, which would do an orderly removal of all of the files
installed by an old world... Then we can start work on spliting the
world into seperate packages. We could even automate the generation of
the packaging list because we know everything in /usr/src is installed
by an install target somewhere in bsd.*.mk.
To answer the obvious questions: No, this is not possible at the moment.
Yes, it is fairly easy to achieve.
