cd /usr/ports/mail/squirrelmail && make clean && rm -rf work && make distclean && make fetch && make (-DANY_OPTIONS_HERE)
cleans the workfiles out
forces the work directory to disappear.. :)
cleans (removes) the distribution file
fetch's a new copy of the distfile
make's the software (with any option's that you decide that you need)

hth.
