Thanks everyone for your input.
Few things --
First, I apologize, I said I was following current, I'm actually
following stable -- sorry about that, I was getting extremely tired by
that point.
Second, I posted shortly after that I did actually remove the package
with pkg_delte, I know it is burried under a few posts -- so it was
nice and removed, all is well on that front.
Third, the reason I wanted to do what I was trying to do was that I
wanted some compile-time options that were not present in the
pre-compiled binary. I used "mbstring" as an example, but there were
others that OBSD did not create packages for (that I could find), like
Tidy, for example.
Finally, I did eventually go back to regular package. I found out
that these options I wanted were not entirely necessary, so I figured
I'd just go back to packages.
Thanks again for your responses.

I'm using obsd4.5, following current. I installed php5 using ports.
I realized that I forgot to include something in the compile options.
I went back to add it, and now it won't reinstall.
I added "--enable-mbstring" to the compile flags in the make file. I
then execute a "make install" It does nothing. Just gives me back my
prompt. So I uninstall the existing php "make uninstall". I cleaned
up all the files it told me to, then I try a "make install" and I get
this:
Why do you want to do that ? what's wrong with php5-mbstring ? (which is
one of the packages compiled in extensions)
