You probably have to clean it up.

I would do this:
- use the list of old-style packages in /var/db/pkg, together
  with the output of pkg info, to generate a list of
  packages that you need after clean up.
  My list looks like this, approx. 2000 entries:
-------------
[...]
devel/automake
devel/automake-wrapper
devel/automoc4
devel/binutils
devel/bison
[...]
-------------
- Then build all the packages from your list via poudriere,
  and generate a repo of all those up2date packages.
- Then (this is dangerous, if done via remote, keep a few
  ssh sessions running in parallel, if one fails):
  mkdir /usr/local/OLD
  cd /usr/local
  mv * OLD/
- Now no packages are installed
- re-add all the packages, restore the config from OLD/...

Yes, something like that.
