You probably don't need to invoke pkg manually. The "deinstall"
target should do that, as it did in ye olden times. After making
a code change, try this:
# cd /usr/ports/cad/freecad
# make deinstall <--- remove installed program
# make clean <--- remove compiler cruft
# make <--- build everything new
# make reinstall <--- (re)install program
This should work as expected even in the modern pkg times. :-)
