'make deinstall' does a few other things as well; among them, a pkg_delete(1). This will remove the files installed by the port (barring a bug in the port...). Note that the 'make deinstall' will only delete the port if the port skeleton is still for the same version installed. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area: resume/CV at http://be-well.ilk.org:8088/~lowell/resume/ username/password "public"
