I encountered a problem a few years ago with ports, when WRKDIRPREFIX was set, and there was a symbolic link in the destination. It didn't happen for every port, but I tracked the culprit down to one of the /usr/ports/Mk scripts. It's at this point I switched to nullfs instead.

I can't remember any more details on it, and the problem may not even occur anymore
