Thanks for pointing me to release(8). In the end, I followed the steps
described in release(8) and replaced the old /usr tree with the
RELEASEDIR/usr tree. Afterwards, I reinstalled the previously installed
ports. Besides the time required for a full 'make build', it was pretty
easy and didn't require much user interaction.

(disk usage after replacing /usr and reinstalling the same ports I was
using before)
df -h
...
/dev/wd0e 359M 277M 63.9M 81% /usr

Thanks a lot for all answers.

regards,
Andreas
