``works here''

% uname -r

Same results on 4.0-STABLE.

That's normal... it just means that `do-fetch' has no suffix.
A suffix in this case is something such as `.c' in `foo.c'.

Probably because you don't really have the distribution file, or for some
reason your PORTSDIR (or DISTDIR) is not set the way you think it is.  Try
this to check:

% make -V DISTFILES -V PORTSDIR -V DISTDIR
krb5-1.1.1.tar
/usr/ports
/usr/ports/distfiles

This hasn't anything to do with C :-)
