When I try out new ports, I do the following since I don't build ports in
bulk now (If you wipe out packages you lose 1-2 days of built package data,
so be extremely careful). I would probably add a pattern to remove
MY_NEW_PORT to /usr/ports/packages as a adaptation below.
pkg_delete MY_NEW_PORT
rm -rf /usr/ports/plist
rm -rf /usr/ports/packages
rm -rf /usr/ports/pobj
make install
Hope that helps you out. I think this is a known thing, sicne you are
tweaking the new port to get it right. I expect most ports people know this.
