That's correct, but doesn't tell the whole story.

At "make install" time, if the package that is trying to be installed
differs from the one that is present in the ${WRKDIR}, then the
${WRKDIR} will be deleted, and the package will be rebuilt. Taken
 from bsd.pkg.mk's cvs logs:

In the do-su-install target, when the ${WRKDIR} contains an outdated
version of the package, and an attempt is made to install the package,
first "make clean" and then "make build" to pick up the new version of
the package before continuing with "make install", rather than printing
an error message and dying.
