I can confirm that "pkg_delete -x kde" will try to remove those files many
times over, which generates benign warnings that the package packing list was
incorrectly specified, but otherwise seems to work as expected.
I would be happy to see just a single port responsible for the creation and
deletion of that directory hierarchy, but, failing that, can't the individual
ports be made smart enough to notice whether or not they created a path and
generate a correct packing list dynamicly?
