Not that I see any packages being > kept anywhere . . . . When a package is built, it is always done *after* the port has been installed into $PREFIX. As far as I recall, packages don't get built unless you explicitly ask for them, so the command you used to install the program is what you need to look at for details. Incidentally, built packages get installed to /usr/ports/packages by default. None of this is different from earlier versions, as far as I remember.
