Exactly, when I was new I used lynx and the included .html-files for
each package to find out what it is.

Ok. if you can remove the buildenv-stuff when the package is not that
what you want, this might be ok.

But you should then have a build-env-distfile dir, because I often
reinstall a port after a while i've not used it, and so the distfiles
often are still there. If you have no buildenv-distfile-directory, you
need a connection to the internet to build it :(
