Assuming, of course, that the Makefile is configured exactly as it was when the package was installed. If you used any custom settings when building/installing the package, and have since then done a "make clean" or "make distclean" or whatever, you'll have to re-run configure with exactly the same options as you did before. This is why it's much easier to use the ports collection, if possible. > If it's from a port, type "make deinstall" in the build directory > instead.
