How to reinstall ports correctly?

I have install from ports a game iourbanterror, but after an update(of tree ports) the game wasn't install anymore so I install it again; the install process works fine but when trying to run the game I recive an error: "Couldn't load default.cfg"
I use the following commands:
Code: 
#make deinstall clean
#make config-recursive, 
#make rmconfig-recursive, 
#make clean-depends

Any advice? Thanks in advance!
ps: sorry for my bad English, is not my native language.

Updating your ports tree does NOT uninstall a port. It doesn't touch the (installed) ports themselves in any way.
 
I know that updating does not uninstall a port, but when I checked the port wasn't there.
Code: 
> which iourbanterror 
 or
> ls /var/db/pkg | grep iourbanterror
did not return any results.

which(1) won't find things that are not in your path.

Use pkg_info(1) to check for installed ports. -Ix is helpful.
Code: 
# pkg_info -Ix iourban
 
uninstall and add from package to see if you get any different result
# make deinstall -C /usr/ports/games/iorbanterror
# pkg_add -rv iourbanterror
assuming your $PACKEGESITE in env is set to .../Latest
