  You should be able to use pkgrm(1M) with Blastwave (and any other
  pkg-get retrieved) packages, as pkg-get uses pkgadd(1M) underneath.

  I use sodipodi from Blastwave, so

$ pkginfo | grep sodipodi
application CSWsodipodi    sodipodi - Drawing program for Scalable Vector Graphics

  which means that "pkgrm CSWsodipodi" would remove what I retrieved
  with "pkg-get -i sodipodi".
