That's exactly what "make reinstall" does. I even have a couple of
"extensions" in my own "/etc/mk.conf" that you might find useful:

.if !target(reconfigure)
reconfigure reconfig:
        ${RM} -f ${CONFIGURE_COOKIE} && \
        ${MAKE} ${MAKEFLAGS} configure
.endif

.if !target(rebuild)
rebuild:
        ${RM} -f ${BUILD_COOKIE} && \
        ${MAKE} ${MAKEFLAGS} build
.endif

Besides the other fine suggestions, you could set $OBJMACHINE, so the
work directories are named work.i386, work.sparc and so on. All this,
and more, is doc'd in pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk.
