I have been looking at bsd.ports.mk and reinstall simply deletes the .install_done and .package_done files from the work directory and than attempts to do a "make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER install" and that used to work. Now the install target is looking at the pkgdb and finding that the package is already installed, even with the FORCE_PKG_REGISTER, throws an error that is not handled. I think this is a bug as it is simply not properly handled. I'm not sufficiently good at make scripting to be sure of this, but that appears to be what going on. I am not sure if this can be safely fixed or if the 'reinstall' target should be removed. I should also note that reinstall has changed drastically since pkgng came on the scene, so my prior look at this was totally obsolete.
