I was using the postfix port, but decided to replace it with ssmtp to reduce
ports in use and simplify system updating (deleting postfix with
pkg_delete). Is it possible that deleting postfix will leave ports installed
that aren't required anymore? Will pkg_delete also delete any dependencies
no
Cool, thanks Mark. Guess that's also a reason to learn new pkg tools.

failed. After connecting running portsnap again, it appeared to complete

There's no reason not to just use the latest in the ports tree, which as of
now is:
php5-5.4.7
mysql-server-5.5.28
I use phpmyadmin, which usually results in updating php5 every new release
(which is why I'm on php5-5.4.7), although I'm still on mysql-server-5.5.16.

Absolutely go distributed vcs over centralized. Keeping code always under
version control, even when local in your sandbox, is extremely powerful. And
since a distributed vcs can be used as a centralized vcs, there's really no
technical reason to use a centralized vcs.
