A quick grep in /usr/ports/Mk/ indeed doesn't turn up any documentation on
NEED_ROOT. According to the Porter's Handbook section 3.4:

  "Make sure that make package can be run as a normal user (that is, not
   as root). If that fails, NEED_ROOT=3Dyes must be added to the port
   Makefile."

And that's all she wrote. This is probably not as helpful a response as
you were hoping for, but as far as I can tell NEED_ROOT is the way to go.
