I would advice to do so, no matter what the pkg_delete
command will cause. If I remember correctly, MODYFIED
files will not be touched (checksum test), and a directory
won't be removed if it contains something that won't
be deleted according to the initial "packing list".

So if anything unexpected happens - you can consult your
"before" configuration files to change the "after" ones,
or simply re-use them if possible.
