In this case I'd lost control of the controlling terminal and didn't know how to recover it. After kill -9 <pid> of the initial make process I left the system standing overnight, to see if killing the original make process would eventually propagate down to the leaf nodes. It didn't.
Then I used killall c++, and again, it killed the named processes, but other
things,
notably pkg, kept running. After waiting a few minutes they were killall-ed.
A notation from ninja eventually showed up in the logfile saying
"interrupted
by user", so maybe ninja was the place to start shutting things down.

No room for a jail on a Pi, alas....

Thank you, I didn't know about it.

Understood. This is the first time I've ever needed to kill a port build.
Usually they die prematurely of natural causes!
FWIW should you need to attempt such a strategy again. You'll want to add
sh (/bin/sh) to the list of potential "victims" in your kill list. :-)
