distclean will delete the sources and it is not necessary.

php4-extensions is a "mete-port"; it would have been easier to locate

As I've said, there is a simpler way:
Let's say you want php4-mhash, you have installed php4-extensions
without it: just
cd /usr/ports/security/php4-mhash && make install clean
Read the ports chapter of the handbook, please.
