The wildcard ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_character ) is
interpreted by your shell and expanded into a list of matching files
from your current working directory, then sent as a parameter to
pkg_delete.

What you were probably trying to do was either

pkg_delete -f portmaster\*

or

pkg_delete -f "portmaster*"
