The problem is the date of your maschine. It seems that the date your machine
has is in the 1980's.

The bsd.port.mk file checks for your "systemversion" in /var/db/port.mkversion
or ${PKG_DBDIR}/.mkversion. If you are "in sync" with the makefile in
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk with BSDPORTMKVERSION=YYYYMMDD it will build the
ports.

The date of your machine.

Hope that helps

ps: It hit me once too. I will submit a FAQ if someone can point me to the
right  chapter - or perhaps create a new one for dealing with ports / packages.

pps: Perhaps it is useful to check if the system date is behind the date in
bsd.port.mk and issue a warning additional to that already displayed.
