How to remove stale files if make install fails

Hello,

is there an automated way, other then manually going through pkg-plist, how to 
delete already installed files of a port, if the "make install" fails before 
completion?

"make deinstall" and "pkg_delete" refuses to delete the port's files, since 
the port was not recorded in package database.

Best regards,
