We just covered this a couple weeks ago. The fastest way to clean your
ports directory is:
find /usr/ports -type d -name work | xargs rm -r
There is no point in "optimizing" make clean in /usr/ports because no
matter how much more efficient you make it, you still have to deal with
a lot of make overhead that can be avoided using the above method.
