[wplug-bsd] [newbie] How to un-screw my ports?

Greetings,

I've got a FreeBSD system (4.10-RELEASE #0), and I've done something 
Bad with regards
to my ports.  Lately, every time I've tried to build something 
(specifically dia,
and openoffice 1.1), I get an error in some Low Level Fundamental 
Place, like
I get a segv in python (when trying to get dia) or a "bootstrap 
comparison failure!" making /usr/ports/lang/gcc32 for openoffice.

Is there a way to say "flush any ports I may have built / installed and 
let me start over from scratch"?

Thanks,
