How is this different from a fresh install? Except for
a very limited amount in config files, which would be easier
to save and restore. And home directories. Again, save and
restore.

You don't have to remove the ports prior to upgrading. Just recompile them
later.
Why would I want to do that though ? It gives me no advantages, and some
serious disadvantages (especially if I am doing this on a 'live' system).
Much easier to delete everything prior to the upgrade, and then I know that
the machine is just the base system, and that none of my users are running
apache, or pine, or exim or whatever - because I deleted them :-). Standard
practice for me, even when going from one minor release to the next...
