In addition to the procedure above, I did this time before the deletion
of all packages:

# pkg query '%a %n' | fgrep '0 ' | sed 's/0 //' > what-I-have-installed.txt

this gives you in the file what-I-have-installed.txt a list of what you
have installed, i.e. without dependency packages;

later you just run this list from a script

# sh
# while read name; do                                                                         
     pkg install -y $name                                                                      
  done <  what-I-have-installed.txt

and you have all back again as before;
