AFAIK, no. You could try 'pkg_create -b' for the parent port, and then
try 'make package-recursive' to see if that will bypass the first step,
but I can't guarantee that it will work. Your other option would be to
do 'make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER package-recursive' in the parent port to
just re-build and re-install everything. Not as clean, but has the
advantage of not having to de-install the existing port in case that's a
problem.
hth,
