Portmaster -s will cull ports that are "no longer depended on". Seems to work fairly well. You can (probably) find the list of ports that you installed deliberately by trawling through /var/db/pkg for those that don't have a +REQUIRED_BY file. (The portmaster -s trick works by finding ports that have a +REQUIRED_BY file that is empty, I believe.)
