If you've installed a bunch of packages and don't want to hunt down each one
individually, try "cd /usr/pkgsrc;make clean".  IIRC, this will honor your
/etc/mk.conf preferences for xxx_SPECIFIC_PACKAGES, so if you've been 
tinkering with those, you might still have some stale work directories when 
you're done.

As others have mentioned, there's also a make distclean, which will remove
.tgz files from your distfiles directory.  Not sure if it does other stuff.

Cheers,
