Breaking it out:

packageA depends on packageB. Neither has been built.

make install	# in packageA

packageA and packageB are now made and installed. The work directories
are still there, with sources, objects, etc.

make clean	# in packageA

packageA and packageB are cleaned out. In additions, if packageA
depends on packageC, which was installed but not cleaned - it's
cleaned now.

You can disable the cleaning of dependencies with "NOCLEANDEPENDS=yes"
in /etc/make.conf.
