Yes, it doesn't build if it's already there. And you need to tarup the
package right after installation so that files doesn't get changed, etc.
This is quick hack for what you want:

# pkg_delete -r windowmaker

	Check the man page of pkg_delete(1) for information about -r and
	-R. Use which one you like more.

# cd /usr/pkgsrc/wm/windowmaker
# make package

	Now because windowmaker and it's depencies are not installed those
	are going to be compiled and packed as you wanted. Of course
	pkg_delete will recursively delete packages and 'make package'
	will rebuild them to make those packages.

Another possibility is to use chroot. I have never tried it but there
seems to be some information at

	http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/binary.html

The idea is to build sandbox where is no packages installed. So you
don't have to remove any packages and you can build everything and make
packages.

I hope this helps and please correct me if I'm wrong.
