I seem to be getting this thread in random order.
I guess you're talking about src/Makefile:
	.if defined(MAKE_PORTS) & exists(ports) & exists(ports/Makefile)
	SUBDIR+= ports
	.endif

The idea was one would have a /usr/src/ports --> /usr/ports
(& that would point to /usr57/ports or whatever/wherever)

If you need to zap it Satoshi, go ahead :-)
