How did you end up with such a repo? If you're using poudriere to build it, then you'll end up with a separate repo for each (jail,ports) pair you have used. When you remove a jail, you also have to remove the corresponding repos without any fear. And whenever you run poudriere bulk on your (jail,ports) combination, it removes all the stale packages, so you can't possibly end up with ancient packages in the repo.
