Thanks for your answer :)

Of course, fixing bsd.linux-rpm.mk would be the best option !

Your idea is good, but PORTDOCS would not be useable for that purpose. It cannot
be used to identify files to delete because it is relative to the destination
target (DOCSDIR), not to WRKDIR or WRKSRC. A good idea may be to introduce a new
variable, say RMWRKDIRFILES= (something like that) and a target, as you suggest,
that would delete all those files relative to WRKDIR, before the install target.

Note that this idea is not limited to bsd.linux.mk and could be introduced more
generally in bsd.port.mk.

Of course, considering my original post and port problem, I can do this manually
if this idea is not a good one :p
