The following is probably the most efficient solution.
It doesn't run into all subdirectories (and works with
an arbitrary numebr of subdirectories).
cd /usr/ports; echo */*/work | xargs rm -rf

So does this:
find /usr/ports -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -name work -print -delete -prune
I would be surprised if the globbing in most shells was more efficient than find. Although as
mentioned before, nothing beats putting all the work directories in a single location, and using a
single rm command.
