You must be quite careful, or you'll be doing a lot of needless rebuilding.
For each port or ports that you know you want, do this:
sorry for asking more details.. but why should it be risky on 10.4 or 10.5?
First, I'd expect reclaim to remove:
- installed stuff that is older than the latest installed release (inactive)
- active stuff, but which was pulled in by otehr packages now removed
of course without buildbot it is more inconvenient to reinstall
something, but why should it happen?
I everything stays to current, removing something old shouldn't even
require arebuild!
I had a blink light when I saw it wanted to remove soemthing I
specifically installed was up to latest version!

PS: in case, can I reclaim manually certain inactive ports?
