I recently stopped the installation of a port when package registration was
taking place for a dependency.  I used FORCE_PKG_REGISTER on some ports later,
then promptly pkg_delete'd all the ports that I used FORCE_PKG_REGISTER on,
deleted all the work subdirectories of my ports[1] tree (to make sure I didn't
have stale build trees around) and reinstalled the port I wanted.

[1] I usually prefer running something like the following instead of "make
clean" on the entire ports tree:

	# cd /usr/ports
	# find . -type d -maxdepth 3 -name work | xargs rm -fr
