Sorry I wasn't clear, I use the information on the old package to delete the old distfiles, after first comparing to the list of distfiles used by other ports to make sure that it isn't in use elsewhere (such as QT). In portmaster un-installing the port is a different option from upgrading, and has a component of deleting the current distfiles if the user chooses it.
