Eeewwww. Ugly Imake voodoo, together with very careful munging of the values
that go into xf86site.def, IIRC. The generated Makefile at the top level
might have a 'something-clean'-type target to do it. I wouldn't trust trying
to do it outside of the XFree86 make framework though (i.e., manually).

At what point do you do that? It can't be a post-install: target, or you'll
break 'make reinstall' and 'make package'. That is, at what point can you
assume the user is done, and yet have that point be guaranteed to be reached?
I think it's impossible.
You could do a pre-extract: to make clean, I guess, but that only makes sense
if they all use a common work dir. That is, you could do:
WRKDIR!= cd ${PORTSDIR}/x11/XFree86-4 && make -V WRKDIR
pre-extract:
${RM} -fr ${WRKDIR}
${MKDIR} ${WRKDIR}
What are you reactions to that idea? (Please, no explicit references to
evacuative bodily functions.)
