I did finally get this to build - I don't know why it worked, but I'm 
not complaining. I ran portsclean -CDD, rebooted, portsnap update, and 
tried again: must have been a patch somewhere in the build; so thank you 
stranger :)

I do still want a clarification, I'm still getting a handle on makefiles 
and building large projects:

What does the gmake[n] mean? Is it parallel builds? I'm not even sure 
what to google for...
