You probably installed it without using the ports collection (or
interrupted the port install before it could register the package,
etc).  Unfortunately this means it is going to be hard for you to
completely remove it.  Look into the example in the pkg_which manpage
to see how to identify files that do not belong to any registered
ports, but make sure to back up your system before you start to remove
them (note: don't just remove them all blindly because some of those
files may be legitimate).
