Uh, do you mean files/md5? (which is why I suggested putting this
other requirement file in files/)

The port Makefile is exactly what depends on bsd.port.mk, which is why
I suggested putting it there. Using ${SH} in port Makefiles is what
started this thread. And not every port needs it -- only ports with
complex Makefiles that use newer bsd.port.mk files - another reason to
link the requirement with the Makefile.
