I have found the strangest workaround, after the failure I just have
to cd into the working directory, run make without parameters and it
finishes building.

It's only from the port that building doesn't work. I quickly found
out that something in MAKE_ENV must be causing it, so I tried
compiling repeatedly, each time stripping another variable and
discovered that CXX causes my problem. If I leave it out of the
MAKE_ENV it builds just fine.

Considering that CXX is not even used this strikes me as quite
strange and I know of no non-hacky way of removing it from
MAKE_ENV.
