| pkg_delete qt1-1.45_1

Or just pkg_delete 'qt*'

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?
