You should type "make clean" more often. ;-)
Removing them one by one was a pain so I wrote this little utility to wipe
them off.
I find that the following command works just fine for me:
find /usr/ports -type d -name work -prune -print -delete
The following is probably the most efficient solution.
It doesn't run into all subdirectories (and works with
an arbitrary numebr of subdirectories).
cd /usr/ports; echo */*/work | xargs rm -rf
Best regards
