That's peculiar, since "man port" says --all includes --dist:

    clean
      Clean the files used for building portname.  To just remove the  
work
      files, use the --work actionflag.  To remove the distribution  
files (tar-
      balls, etc), specify --dist.  To remove the archive(s) for the  
current
      version of a port, pass --archive.  To remove the work files,  
distribu-
      tion files and archives, pass --all.
