After some consideration I decided to go for pkg_chk -g/-r/-a. 
Unfortunately, it look like I'm getting stranded at thunderbird:

make[3]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/obj/pkgsrc/mail/thunderbird/work/mozilla/toolkit/components/build'
make[3]: write error
make[2]: *** [libs] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/obj/pkgsrc/mail/thunderbird/work/mozilla/toolkit/components'
make[1]: *** [tier_50] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/obj/pkgsrc/mail/thunderbird/work/mozilla'
gmake: *** [default] Error 2

CLEANDEPENDS=yes' failed
*** ** 'cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/thunderbird && /usr/pkg/bin/bmake update 
CLEANDEPENDS=yes' failed

What could this be? I can't do anything right now, since it would leave 
my system useless (no firefox, no links, no thunderbird, etc).

Thanks,
