=46rom portmaster(8):

=2E..
     -D  no cleaning of distfiles

     -d  always clean distfiles
=2E...

In the case in question, I suggest "-D", as portmaster may offer to
delete distfiles for similar, but different, ports.  You can always
delete unwanted distfiles separately.

There may be other ways, as well.
