The Port's collection is basically targeted at -STABLE and -CURRENT, so the 'correct' thing to do would be to upgrade your 4.1.1 machine to 4.5-STABLE. You probably don't want to do that. There is a misc/41upgrade port, which is supposed to do the trick, but I notice that it's not been updated for some time. So what you're going to have to do this the hard way... You need to cvsup /usr/src, and then build usr.bin/make and usr.sbin/pkg_install. You should be able to use 'make all install' in these two directories. The errors you are seeing are because make in -STABLE has been upgraded to have some new variable processing rules, and these are failing with your old version. There migh be more things in the base system which need upgrading too, so basically you're going to have to go through a process of finding out what fails, and building them. You can probably do this without rebooting the system or destabilising it though. But if it becomes too complex, then upgading to -STABLE might be the answer.
