Well, we are speaking about already deleted ports. Once they were
deleted and user's ports tree updated any adding/removing should be
done according to /usr/ports/UPDATING (i.e. reading about default
linux_base port and how to upgrade).

Once a user uses fixed ports tree and pre-built packages there should
be no problems.
