Thanks Dave,
I only did make clean in the abiword directory. There's quite the pile
of cruft coming out now -down to 91% as I type. Odd though that I
normally do a make clean after installing a program and yet there is
still all this stuff left over.

Clean only cleans the port, not any of the port's dependencies. The
dependencies can get quite large, dwarfing the usage of the port you're
building. To clean *everything* try this:

$ make CLEANDEPENDS=Yes clean

or add CLEANDEPENDS=Yes to your environment.

Thanks for the information, it is veru useful. I don't know if
it's preset in the OpenBSD guide, but it should ;-)

Like just about everything in OpenBSD, it's in a man page.
See ports(7) where it says:

PORT VARIABLES
These can be changed in the environment, or in /etc/mk.conf for persis-
tence. They can also be set on make's command line, e.g., make
VAR_FOO=foo

[snip]

CLEANDEPENDS If set to Yes, let `clean' recurse to dependencies.
