What I usually do: figure out where the "bottom" is, use `pkg_info -q
-R _package_ > /var/tmp/_package_-LIST' to note the packages that'll
be erased with "pkg_delete -r _package_", do that, then "make package"
for the packages at the "top", in the list.

"make clean-depends" works, too. I keep my WRKOBJDIR pretty clean, and
every now and then I do "ls -ld /t/pkgobj/*/*" to see if I missed any.
