How to re-install ports without removing downloaded source and builds?

[Nick]

Does anyone know how to do this?  I want to `rm -r` my installation
directory and start the installation over, but not download and compile
everything again.  I think I'd lose my database if I do that and if I do
`port uninstall installed`, I lose the builds as it does a `port clean
name`.

Thanks!
