Well,

I just started "make buildworld", and guess what the start of the output
says? :
#####
root carrot:/usr/src# make buildworld
--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Rebuilding the temporary build tree
--------------------------------------------------------------
rm -rf /usr/obj/usr/src/i386
#####

So, I guess make does it for you, at least in theory!

Regards,
Patrick.
