Sadly this target must be produced by "make describe".
so moving it one step later won't solve this problem.

if WRKDIRPREFIX is set, the port directory will not be touched.

I ponder to use the new location of the OPTIONS file /var/db/ports/
for it, but I have not resolved all conficts yet.

kind regards Dirk
