There are more than one way to install vulnerable port. Sometimes DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes may be enough. Permissions denied may be caused by your file system mount options - if you have /var (/var/db/pkg) mounted as noexec, than some ports (packages) can not be deinstalled (deinstall script can not be executed) Miroslav Lachman
