What do the bsd.port.* files in /usr/share/mk look like? I'm guessing
you still have "real" versions of those, whereas recent versions
of FreeBSD have those simply as stubs to the real versions under
/usr/ports/Mk. Try updating those four files (you need bsd.port.mk and
bsd.port.{pre,post,subdir}.mk) from RELENG_3 or something (use cgiweb
if you can't get them any other way, they're all very small). If you've
cvsupped ports then /usr/ports/Mk should be up to date, so you don't
need to fiddle with those.
