The problems of print/ghostscript5 are solved by using the latest
bsd.port.mk ($Id: bsd.port.mk,v 1.265 1997/10/08 05:04:48 asami Exp $).
I've checked building print/ghostscript5 yesterday under 2.2.2-RELEASE
with the latest bsd.port.mk fetched from ftp.freebsd.org., it works.

It's also true that with some older version of bsd.port.mk
(e.g. that of 2.2.2-RELEASE), compilation fails for some reasons:
One reason is lack of SH ?= /bin/sh entry in bsd.port.mk, 
and the other I don't know.  Now it's working anyway.
