If you want to clean a specific port (and its dependencies) just do a
'make clean' in its directory, or if you want to clean the whole tree do
it in the ports base directory.

Check 'man ports' ,there are a number of other targets that might come
in handy at times. E.g. you can do a 'make extract' to get the ports
work directory, browse through readme's and other information before
installing, then do a 'make install clean'.
