FYI, you can also use shell aliases
$ alias cdw='cd $(make -V WRKDIR)'
/usr/ports/editors/vim $ cdw
/tmp/usr/ports/editors/vim/work $ cd -
/usr/ports/editors/vim $
or search through command history[1] for `cd $(make -V WRKDIR)' +
return to origin directory via `cd' or `popd'. For example (zsh),
$ setopt autopushd pushdminus
$ cd category/port
$ make patch
$ cd $(make -V WRKSRC)
$ ls
$ cd path/to/blah
$ ls
$ editor sourcefile.c
$ cd -
$ diff path/to/blah/sourcefile.c{.bak,} >~-2/files/patch-sourcefile.c
$ cd -2
$ make
