I do that for offline systems. For online systems where I know which
packages I want then I use PKG_CACHE and check all packages install on
one system (in sync with base) and copy the packages to the others.

Stu's previous tip can be useful

pkg_info -q > previously_installed.txt
pkg_delete -X
/usr/bin/env PKG_CACHE="/usr/ports/write/packages" pkg_add -zl
previously_installed.txt

Though for some reason I have had to manually install gnome-icon-theme
the last twice or so.
