It depends on what command you issue. If you try and remove an installed package which had other packages dependent upon it, then it will fail. # pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/apache-2.2.4_2/ pkg_delete: package 'apache-2.2.4_2' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: php5-5.2.1_3 php5-mysql-5.2.1_3 php5-pcre-5.2.1_5 php5-posix-5.2.1_3 php5-session-5.2.1_3 php5-simplexml-5.2.1_3 ... But you could force it by using `pkg_delete -f` if you wanted. This on its own will not remove the dependancies, you need to use `pkg_delete -rf` for that. If you run `make deinstall` from the port directory you get the same result as having used `pkg_delete -f` (but not -rf).
