Your mistake was assuming it was to do with the distfiles used to build installed packages, but the above comment is wrong -D deletes any distfile that doesn't have a hash value recorded anywhere in your complete ports tree. i.e. it only deletes files that have no use. -DD deletes any distfile that doesn't have a hash value recorded for the installed ports i.e. it additionally deletes distfiles that correspond to deleted packages, even though such files are still potentially useful if you need to reinstall.
