What I would do:
1) for each version, run "pkg_info -R <version>"
If this returns empty, it should be safe to delete.
2) for each remaining version, run "portupgrade -r <version>"
Warning: autoconf is required by automake, which is
used by great heaping gobs of stuff. There is a minute
possibility any upgrade will break something.
