Thank you, Oliver, for looking into this and perhaps offering a
solution-- I appreciate your time and effort. Patch didn't like the
diff:
patching file bsd.port.subdir.mk
patch: **** malformed patch at line 4: .for __target in ${TARGETS}
...but I applied it by hand and confirm that I can rebuild the INDEX
successfully via "portsdb -uU". Also thank you, Kris and Edwin, for
the explanations that you've offered.

At one point-- about a dozen years ago-- this utility was named
"niftyclean".
If the powers-that-be wish to avoid a port named "clean" rather than
spend the time testing Oliver's patch, please update the PR or
otherwise let me know, and I'll re-do the port under a different name.
