There's supposed to be an install make target. E.g. "make install" should preserve all aspects of the port that are required for its continued runtime. Everything else under work/ is free to go and does when you do a "make clean". You should read /usr/ports/GUIDELINES /usr/share/FAQ/Text/ports.FAQ; they do explain the basic "ideology" of all of this. Jordan
