OUCH! I made the mistake of running "make" while in ports/audio the other
day when I thought I had cd to /ports/audio/mplayer... and it started
"making" every port file in the audio directory until I caught on and
stopped it.... /ports/audio has a "make" file too....

So, I imagine you would have the same experience.... except bigger.
