You can do a pkg_delete -a.
This will delete all the packages.
After that pkgdb -fF
This will rebuild the package database. However I dont think this is necessary.
then reinstall everything as required.
Thanks and Best Regards

Loads of data, loads of accounts / passwords, nothing wrong with the 'base' part
of the OS... There's no need to really.
My problems are generated from to many ports / inconsistencies in the ports, and
so forth. So that's really the only part of the OS that actually needs some
serious work.
I also can't re-install the Base OS remotely... Yes, I can make world to
upgrade it (which has already been done), but not reinstall it in the sense of
format / repartition / etc...
