 * It *DOES* need to be defined twice.  The define for the ELF case is

Yes, but one was completely overshadowing the other.  It looked like:

 :
GNUHOST= i386-freebsd${OSREL}
 :
.include <bsd.port.mk>
.if ${PORTOBJFORMAT} == "elf"
BROKEN= ...
GNUHOST= i386-freebsdelf
.else
GNUHOST= i386-freebsd
.endif

You had a situation where GNUHOST is defined twice, either for the
a.out and ELF case, with different values before and after bsd.port.mk
in both cases.  That's just not going to work. ;)
