Thanks! Now it is working.
I decided to share this with the list as at least FreeBSD users could
benefit from it nicely (Maybe gentoo users, too?).
AddToFunc makedeinstallmenu
+ I DestroyMenu Recreate deinstallmenu
+ I AddToMenu deinstallmenu
+ I PipeRead 'for i in $(pkg_info -a -o -q|sort); \
do echo "+ %mini.file.xpm%\"$i\" Exec cd /usr/ports/$i; \
$[TER] -T \'Deinstalling $i\' -e make deinstall"; done'
DestroyMenu deinstallmenu
AddToMenu deinstallmenu
+ DynamicPopupAction makedeinstallmenu
addtomenu management
+ "deinstall" Popup deinstallmenu
A couple of thoughts: ports-tree could be located somewhere else than
/usr/ports; but /usr/ports is the default on free- & openbsd.
If one has lot of programs installed, the menu could be quite long. I'm
open to ideas how to make ports-tree categories as submenus of installed
programs.
Why I used cd /port; make deinstall, and not pkg_delete or something
else? Because of the nifty "changing to root credentials" which is only
available in this method.
About the subtree-idea: a friend of mine gathered the following external
script:
#!/bin/sh
category=""
for line in $(pkg_info -a -o -q|sort); do
curcat=$(echo $line | awk -F '/' '{ print $1 }')
app=$(echo $line | awk -F '/' '{ print $2 }')
if [ "$curcat" != "$category" ]; then
echo "AddToMenu deinstallmenu"
echo "+ %some.icon%\"$curcat\" Popup $curcat"
echo "AddToMenu $curcat"
category=$curcat
fi
if [ -n "$app" ]; then
echo "+ %some.icon%\"$app\" Exec $app"
fi
done
However, it gets generated multiple times for some odd reason.
If one moves mouse all the time during the execution, then it is created
only once like it should. But if one just waits for menu popup, it gets
generated multiple times. Also, naturally, the execution time is
somewhat longer.

Example output of pkg_info -q -o -a|sort:
