Actually, globbing works just fine with native pkg_delete as well. Though the number of even very experienced people who don't know that pkg_delete and pkg_info is surprisigly large, so I suspect that it's a relatively recent feature. As for meke deinstall, you know that the sequence would be cd /usr/ports/*/kde2 make deinstall or something to that effect, right? What happens when you try that? -- Brian T.
