You could (ab)use the checkflist script in /usr/src/distrib sets,
as mentioned in release(8):
# cd /usr/src/distrib/sets
# DESTDIR=/ sh checkflist > foo
Then *carefully* review foo, which should contain a diff between
what is expected on a fresh distribution and what actually is
contained on your filesystems.
Again: be careful. You probably don't want to remove /usr/src,
/usr/local, /usr/ports, /usr/X* or even /home. Also note that blindly
removing outdated shared libraries may break outdated installed
packages. So you've to ensure your packages are up to date, too.
