The most common reason for this error is an out of date bsd.port.mk file.

Check if you have version >= 1.227.2.57 of this file in /usr/share/mk.  If
you don't then you need to ftp the file from:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/src/share/mk.tar

and then untar the bsd.* file into /usr/share/mk.
