I'm afraid that's not true.
When you disable something in src.conf(5), its files *will*
be removed when you do "make delete-old".
See the file src/tools/build/mk/OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc
for all the details. It's included by src/ObsoleteFiles.inc
which in turn is included by src/Makefile.inc1 (after
/etc/src.conf was parsed by share/mk/bsd.own.mk).
If that doesn't work for WITHOUT_NTP, then that's a bug.
Probably some entries missing in OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc.
As Kenyon Ralph noted, it was discussed in the past
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-November/013561.html)
Not deleting WITHOUT_ stuff is really not a bug. Deleting is some kind
of undocumented feature which never worked for all the WITHOUT_ variables.
