Then leave off the "-recursive part", although actually the targets you
really need are checksum[-recursive] not  fetch[-recursive].

It's good practice to leave the files in the distfile directory and
clean it with portsclean -D, then you don't have to download them
again. Ports often need to be rebuilt with the same distfile.

gnome2-lite is just a metaport, so you could just delete it and install
just the ports you want.
