A few more probable reasons.. (unless it is just documentation that is nonexistent yet...)
No clear equivalent to pkgdb -F (fixup of stale dependencies)
Untested portmaster resintall-all procedure per its manpage
A failed "make install", nowadays one can check the directory in /var/db/pkg with "ls"
Likewise a failed "make deinstall" ...
Nowadays, one can without a "failed to register" uncomment a Makefile line, and install two
ports which are in conflict (officially or unofficially)... saving time VS other more recommendable
ways.
