 * But at the point the `IGNORE' string is used, it is defined?

Yes, but that has nothing to do with this particular conditional.  You 
are defining or not defining IGNORE depending on the existence of a
file.  It's only the contents that are lazily evaluated, not the
conditionals around its definition.

 * I also tried this logic below the include of bsd.port.mk.

That is a major no-no.  Don't put ANYTHING after bsd.port.mk.

 * Should that have worked?

No.  IGNORE wouldn't have been defined when it was checked in
bsd.port.mk.
