Well, that being said, I did just encounter a problem when trying to update 
the ports database after a cvsup (running 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 with XOrg):

smogmonster# portsdb -uU
Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait.."Makefile", 
line 34: Malformed conditional (${XFREE86_VERSION} == 3 
&& !defined(WITHOUT_X))
"Makefile", line 36: if-less endif
"Makefile", line 36: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
===> chinese/arphicttf failed
*** Error code 1
1 error

My /etc/make.conf is:

# Created: Fri Apr 16 06:11:06 2004
# Setting to use base perl from ports:
PERL_VER=5.6.1
PERL_VERSION=5.6.1
PERL_ARCH=mach
NOPERL=yo
NO_PERL=yo
NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo
CPUTYPE?=athlon-xp
CFLAGS= -O -pipe
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe
#X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg

I commented the line with the new X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable to see if that were 
the problem, but it didn't change anything.
