see /usr/ports/Mk/port.bsd.mk (l. 303) :
# install - Install the results of a build.
# reinstall - Install the results of a build, ignoring "already
installed"
# flag.
# deinstall - Remove the installation.

before doing 'make reinstall' you have to do a 'pkg_delete' of the port, or
use the script given by 'pkg_version -c'
ex:
# pkg_version -c > UpdateMyPorts.sh
# vi UpdateMyPorts.sh (for tuning)
# sh UpdateMyPorts.sh
