Thanks for pointing that out with a way to reproduce.

Does adding these two lines to the Makefile fix the problem for you?
(Note: you need a TAB character on the RM line, not spaces!)

post-extract:
	${RM} -f ${WRKSRC}/configure

Removing that file is safe as we run autoconf213 to generate it.

It actually works :-)

Seriously, the snapshot has FreeBSD support code that 1.34 didn't have,
for instance figuring out the device size on FreeBSD 5 or telling e2fsck
that it's ok if a slice's /dev/ node is a "character special".

HTH,
