Instead of removing /usr/local by hand, did you try to pkg_delete the ports?
If you didn't screw /var/db, you can get the list of the installed ports
First, do a 'ls /var/db/pkg' to get a list of the installed packages
then, you can deinstall them whit the following script:
#!/bin/sh
for var in `ls /var/db/pkg`
do
pkg_delete -f $var
done
Hope this helps.
