At the start of a build, I'd touch /usr/port/categorey/app/.building_now,
and have make clean check for the file before wiping it out.  This file
should then be removed when done building.  I think an exception should be
made, if you ran make clean explicitly for an app that had a
.building_now, still lying around, but I do not know how that should best
be implemented.
