I did, but don't have really a solution for it.
With 4.1.x, I could build the port, do a pkg_delete and make reinstall.
With the 4.2.x meta-port, I build the port (/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4),
did a pkg_delete and a make install. Euh... that was a baaaad idea,
since it had only build in that directory, it hadn't done the other
parts of the port. Two hours later (life can be very boring if you
don't have all the needed libraries on your system) it worked fine
again.
After that, on a different system, I added these lines to the
makefile of x11/XFree86-4:
--- Makefile.old Tue Apr 2 12:28:36 2002
+++ Makefile Tue Apr 2 10:46:51 2002

This way at least everything is fetched and build before I pkg_delete
the whole thing. Life would suck[sp] very much if it failed to
compile after I pkg_deleted it...
