Running make clean at the top of the ports tree recursively goes through 
all parts of the tree, whether or not you have installed a particular port.
Therefore, if there is a problem with one of the ports that throws a fatal 
error, make will just quit.

Like Alan said, you should now be able to just update your ports again
and get a stable tree.  You can fudge it, if you really want, by editing
the Makefile in the directory where the problem port lives - find the
SUBDIR += broken_port line, and comment it out with a '#' (sharp, hash,
pound, octo-thingy, whatever you call it :-)  This really shouldn't be
necessary now, though.
