I would suggest using portmanager. There is a method in there for
displaying "leaves", or installed packages in from the ports tree that
have no dependencies, and allow you to safely remove them.
I'd say uninstall the software you don't want to remove, then have
portmanager show you the leaves that are left, and remove the leaves.

How can I remove a port and all of it's dependencies from a system? For
example, I installed sqWebmail and tried it out then decided it's not what we
were looking for. Now, I would like to not only remove sqWebmail but all of the
stuff it installed along with it.
sqwebmail also installed things like:
- courier-authlib-base-0.56
- ispell-3.2.06_13
and others as well
Is there a safe / quick way to remove the dependencies for a port and not break
the rest of the system by removing stuff other things depend on? For example, I
don't want to remove Perl obviously which is a dependency of sqwebmail.
Thank you,
