I've found that much faster and cleaner way is to just remove
whole /usr/local (preserving /usr/local/etc), and /var/db/pkg

and then just install required ports, such process goes much faster.
Also it removes all unused ports.

As for ports number, it is really crazy, I have 1435 ports for notebook
used as usual desktop and as multi-purpose development machine.

PS.
I am on i386, so can't say anything about amd64 specific performance
problems.
