I don't do that anymore for long time, because I have
/compat/linux/proc mounted. If you rm -rf /compat/linux/* and you
won't be able to reboot correct if you forgot (I always do that) to
remove it from fstab or put /compat/linux/proc back in. When I have
Linux compat installed, I usually do the 'pkg_delete -f linux\*'.
Here's what I always do:

# kldunload nvidia
# pkg_delete -f nvidia\*
# pkg_delete -f linux\*
# rm -rf /usr/local/* /var/db/pkg/* /var/db/ports/*

I always check in /compat/linux to make sure it only has proc directory left.

Cheers,
Mezz
