This is not a complete sentence. I have no idea what you are talking about.

Here, reading the description of the pkg_delete(1) manpage & Section 15.3.1 of the FAQ will answer your question.

The end product of building any port is to create packages. pkg_delete(1) only deletes packages, not the object files created when building the port. If you did not run some variation of:

# make clean

...following building, all object files & any other intermediate file will still exist in /usr/ports/pobj. Subsequent attempts to build with make will find that the timestamps of any object file and/or any other intermediate file is still newer than the source, so there is no need to recompile. Linking, though, may still occur at the end.
