Since you want to delete them, why don't you just use pkg_delete on
them. If they something depends on them, they won't be deleted.
So the recommended methodology is:
Put a sorted list of ports you know you want to keep in "keeps".
Generate a list of things to try and delete by
(cd /var/db/pkg; ls | sort) | comm -23 - keeps | xargs pkg_delete
and keep doing that as long as things are vanishing from /var/db/pkg.
