I'm not at all familiar with portmaster (I habitally use portupgrade),
but your problem happenes at "Creating a backup Creating a backup
package for old version svgalib-1.4.3_7" phase.

You would have deleted (regardless intentionally or accidentally) the
pointed file (/usr/local/bin/dumpreg).

Why direct `make clean ; make all ; make install` worked fine is that
the process not at all containes backup phase.

 *For upgrading, usually it should be
    `make clean && make all && make deinstall && make reinstall \
     && make clean`
  to be sure each phase finishes successfully and no unneeded remnants
  remains (except configuration files). (A bit paranoid.)


Looking into commit log at cgit [1], the problematic file is already
there at the first commit and unchanged afterwards. So the file should
be there when you installed (or previously updated).

Another possiblity would be you changed LOCALBASE when you installed
(or updated) previouly but portmaster doesn't recorded the fact
properly. (i.e., the port was installed under /opt/, but portmaster
looks for /usr/local due to mis-recorded LOCALBASE.)
But this case you SHOULD know and notice what happened clearly.
