Actually, Allegro CL would be rather easy, FreeBSD is one of it's
supported platforms. However:

Huh? I don't think I understand what you are doing here.

I don't think you need this, or any do-install at all. I just had a
quick look at allegro, and it compiled and installed just fine out of
the box, including allegro-config.
So, just setting GNU_CONFIGURE and USE_GMAKE to yes should be enough.

Sorry if I completely misunderstand the problem, but - did you read
the Porter's Handbook?[1] It looks as if you do rather strange things,
and trying to learn building ports from bsd.port.mk would be an easy
way to get confused...
Maybe you could post your Makefile?
