did you go into /usr/ports/games/doom or /usr/ports/games/linuxdoom ? As yes the linuxdoom port is broken. If on the other hand you went into /usr/ports/games/doom it should work fine and attrempt to download the doomsrc etc n compile from there. If you have issues still if you went into /usr/ports/games/doom then try cvsupping your ports. You can consult the handbook on how to cvsup if you are unsure.
