In theory, it would, but there's a typo, meaning that find will
complain. :) You can't have a space between the '\' and the ';'. :)
cd /usr/ports
find -type d -name work -exec rm -r {} \;
Or, to speed things up:
find -type d -name work -exec rm -rf {} \;
But, as I said above, there are plenty of ways to do it. :D
