The only way I can think of is uninstalling all ports, deleting the registry, and installing ports again, but even uninstalling the ports will probably not work with a corrupted registry.

If everything is working now, great, but if something still needs to be fixed, please point me to what it is, because I'm not currently aware of anything that needs to be fixed there and am not currently working on any fixes there. If anything is wrong with the files on the main rsync server I would expect it to affect all other rsync server mirrors since they pull their data from the main server.
