If the port hasn't been modified (e.g., by cvsup'ing ports) since it
was installed, yes. Otherwise, you will need to do a pkg_delete(1).

You are looking for the 'sysutils/portupgrade' port. It installs a tool
called pkg_deinstall.
So to achieve what you described, you would run 'pkg_deinstall -R A'
and it would deinstall 'A' and any of its "orphaned" dependencies, ie.
B, C, D but not E.
