How would make know which > port is building or not? 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.
