I just found two other problems, which at least occur on my system 
(10.0-CURRENT amd64):

(1) With option NOTIFY enabled I am able to build, but not to install 
vlc. It gives me:

gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/multimedia/vlc/work/vlc-2.0.3'
  /usr/local/bin/gmkdir -p 
'/usr/ports/multimedia/vlc/work/fake/usr/local/bin'
  install  -o root -g wheel -m 555 cvlc rvlc svlc qvlc 
'/usr/ports/multimedia/vlc/work/fake/usr/local/bin'
gmake  install-exec-hook
gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/multimedia/vlc/work/vlc-2.0.3'
if test "amd64-portbld-freebsd10.0" = "amd64-portbld-freebsd10.0"; then \

"/usr/ports/multimedia/vlc/work/fake/usr/local/lib/vlc/plugins" ; \
else \
         echo "Cross-compilation: cache generation skipped!" ; \
fi

erstellt)

gmake: *** [install] Fehler 2

(2) Option PROJM builds and installs, but crashes when I try to start it 
within vlc:

No Textures Loaded from /usr/local/share/projectM/textures
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

As far as I can see, there is no path to projectM/textures (installed 
from libprojectM) on FreeBSD, but to projectM/presets?


Sorry for this late response, but before I was not able to run vlc 
because of the pulseaudio crashing.
