Since buildworld and buildkernel seemed to work in /usr/src, I thought /usr/ports would be likewise recovered after a fresh checkout. For now I've set FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes in /etc/src.conf and that seems to allow make to proceed without interruptions for dns/bind910, but I gather that's not a long-term fix.
