Well, you don't state if you were trying to build it under FreeBSD, at
least your comments about what your environment is are confusing.  The
FreeBSD port works find IF you use a current copy of the port to build it
on a FreeBSD host, with a current copy of /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk
installed on the machine.

I can't comment at all about your Linux problems.  The FreeBSD port will
be useless there.  A FreeBSD port doesn't build software, it adapts
software to build smoothly on a FreeBSD host (and manages things like
building binary packages, installing, deinstalling, etc.)
