I can't seem to delete the port. You're correct in that I selected threading and redirect as options when installing boehm-gc, but now it won't deinstall cleanly. make deinstall completes without complaint, but ===> Checking if devel/boehm-gc already installed ===> An older version of devel/boehm-gc is already installed (boehm-gc+threaded+redirect-6.8) happens when I try to reinstall or make install. I've included the port maintainer (stas@) in this thread, as I'd like to have some blessing from smarter folks than I before I run FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes on something as important as libgc.
