Log:
  bsd.port.mk: Handle incorrect binary aliases gracefully
  
  Currently, if the src element of a BINARY_ALIAS pair is missing,
  the ports framework would just print out the help message of install(1)
  and exit with a failure. This might be hard to debug for novice ports
  users.
  
  Let's introduce a check, which would allow us to print
  that the src component is missing.
  
  This situation happens more often than it seems to. For example,
  BINARY_ALIAS tend to blow up when used for test dependencies,
  because binary aliases are created before test dependencies
  are installed. This leads to a lot of confusion for my experience.
