man ports lists all the targets for the ports tree.

Technically, what you're asking about is make targets.  These
are defined in, and completely dependent on, the makefile, not
make itself.  Within the ports tree, a system of makefiles
provides the targets you list above and others.  A complete
list is in ports(7).

You can also read the makefiles themselves.  make(1) will help
you decipher them.
