It is much faster to deinstall everything and then installing from
ground up. And it is far more secure in not screwing up.
I recommend writing down a list of apps you need to be happy, deinstall
everything and then install those apps. Dependencies comes along fine,
and then whatever remains can be installed as needed.
Anyway, the worst that can happen is that you will screw up some user
app's - ok this is bad - but your system won't require a reinstall :-)

With Gnome, KDE, etc. I completely agree with you, portupgrade always
manages fudge something up.
What are some easy ways to do this... lets say for example I updated
to gnome 2.12 what would be an easy (automated) way to remove all of
Gnome 2.10 and all of my GTK apps without removing KDE and my QT apps?
You should download download the gnome upgrade script from
www.freebsd.org/gnome and use it.
