Technically, you don't have to remove them.

pkg2ng will convert your installed package-database.

But after the conversion and before the upgrade, you must do

pkg set -yo devel/pkg-config:devel/pkgconf

and then 

pkg remove pkg-config

Similar with PERL (if the default PERL-version has changed - I don't
know because I have changed the default for my site).

After that, you can run

pkg upgrade -fa

and it will upgrade everything (provided a package is in the repo).

Then, you can install openjdk.
