That works, but I'd like something I can run periodically, and I don't want to 
remove a work directory in the middle of a build. My /etc/periodic.conf is 
this:

# 110.clean-tmps
daily_clean_tmps_enable="YES"                           # Delete stuff daily
daily_clean_tmps_dirs="/tmp /var/db/pkgin/cache /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles"  # 
Delete under here
daily_clean_tmps_dirs="$daily_clean_tmps_dirs /usr/obj"
daily_clean_tmps_days="30"                              # If not accessed for
daily_clean_tmps_ignore=".X*-lock .X11-unix .ICE-unix .font-unix .XIM-unix"
daily_clean_tmps_ignore="$daily_clean_tmps_ignore quota.user 
quota.group .cvsignore"
                                                        # Don't delete these
daily_clean_tmps_verbose="YES"                          # Mention files 
deleted

If I added "/usr/pkgsrc/*/*/work" to daily_clean_tmps_dirs, would that work?
