Actually, the second best solution to that problem is 'make
-DNOCLEANDEPENDS' on the command line. The best solution (in terms of
speed) is 'cd /usr/ports && find . -type d -name work -exec rm -r {} \;'
Doing it that way avoids all of the make overhead and just does the deed.

This is a good reason not to put such things in /etc/make.conf.

That's not the expected behavior at all.

I'm leaving that for one of the ports gurus to deal with, but I think that
you're trying to apply the wrong solution to the wrong problem.
