And here is a 3rd way of doing it with pkg_chk (pkgtools/pkg_chk)!

1) First make list of installed packages:
	
	pkg_chk -g -C /etc/pkges.conf
	vim /etc/pkges.conf <optional>

2) Then delete them all:

	pkg_delete -f \*
	rm -rf /usr/pkg <optional>

3) Reinstall pkg_chk (it was deleted in previous step):

	cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_chk && make install

4) Rebuild all:
	
	pkg_chk -as -C /etc/pkges.conf


Works for me :)!
