Of course, pkg_delete and pkg_add will be happy to help. Or just pkg_add
-r with appropriate -F arguments.
Also, 4.0 is coming.
Finally, while the points mentioned about snapshots are correct, I've

not in the most recent release. Which is not to say it won't happen
eventually - I count on it - but snapshots are not *that* unstable.
