Try setting DISTVERSION=3D1.0.0b and let the ports generate PORTVERSION automatically. You can have alpha-characters in a PORTVERSION string, but not any arbitrary combination thereof -- I think the rule is something like zero or more decimal digits followed by zero or one alpha characters is allowed as the content of the last (dot delimited) field in the version string. BICBW. PORTREVISION has to be numeric.
