	What I would do:
	1) for each version, run "pkg_info -R <version>" 
		If this returns empty, it should be safe to delete.
	2) for each remaining version, run "portupgrade -r <version>"
		Warning: autoconf is required by automake, which is
		used by great heaping gobs of stuff.  There is a minute
		possibility any upgrade will break something.
