Instead of doing a 'make deinstall' from the port directory, you can
always use pkg_delete(1) --

    # pkg_delete phpMyAdmin-\*

(That's actually what 'make deinstall' does behind the scenes)

The phpMyAdmin port is slightly odd in that the port is called
'databases/phpmyadmin' (all lower case), but the generated package is
phpMyAdmin-2.6.1 (mixed case).  It's been that way since before I took
over maintaining it.

The 'make search' stuff you can do to search the ports index should
give you a reasonable answer whichever capitalization you use,
although there was a problem on 5.x machines fixed with revision 1.56
of bsd.port.subdir.mk about two months ago.

   Cheers,
