Don't I get that with a 'make world'?  I have:

$ l /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk
-r--r--r--  1 bin  bin  54241 Oct  9 04:15 /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk

I've built ghostscript 5 twice in the last couple of weeks on a
-current less than 7 days old, and I can confirm both these points.
In addition, a couple of other points:

1.  If you want to make it for A4 paper, you need to specify it on the
    make invocation:

     === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp6) /usr/ports/print/ghostscript5 289 -> Make install
     ===== Mon 13 Oct 08:42:49 CST 1997: Make install
     Type "make A4=yes" if you want -DA4 for compilation.
     ^C
     real    0m2.695s
     user    0m0.182s
     sys     0m0.079s
     === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp6) /usr/ports/print/ghostscript5 290 -> Make install A4=yes
     ===== Mon 13 Oct 08:42:58 CST 1997: Make install A4=yes
     Using -DA4 for compilation.
     >> Checksum OK for ghostscript-5.03.tar.gz.
     >> Checksum OK for ghostscript-5.03gnu.tar.gz.

2.  'make clean' cleans out the other directories:

     === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp6) /usr/ports/print/ghostscript5 288 -> make clean
     ===>  Cleaning for unzip-5.3.1
     ===>  Cleaning for jpeg-6a
     ===>  Cleaning for png-0.96
     ===>  Cleaning for ghostscript-5.03
     === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp6) /usr/ports/print/ghostscript5 289 ->
