Comment(by sewebster@…):

 "all" has nothing in particular to do with port clean.  It is just a list
 of all ports.  So if you want to clean all ports, you "port clean all", if
 you want to install all ports, you "port install all" etc.

 The "all" pseudo-portname is explained very close to the beginning of the
 man page.

 "port clean --all all" is an ok way of cleaning almost everything, but
 probably shouldn't be included in the documentation, because the list of
 all ports is very very long, and most people likely don't need to do this.
