Remember, that all:
- ports tree (usually /usr/ports)
- distfiles (usually /usr/ports/distfiles)
- WRKDIR (and WRKDIRPREFIX)
- /var/db/pkg
can be located on different hosts and shared,
or in different roots on some hosts,
so use "make reinstall" when you shure
what you do.
pkg_info's database used both install
and reinstall, in addition to ${WRKDIR}/
marks.

....
find ${WRKDIRPREFIX} -maxdepth 6 -name .install_done.\* -delete
or
cd ${WRKDIRPREFIX}; rm -f usr/ports/*/*/*/.install_done.*
but remember make reinstall
