I recently installed FreeBSD 3.4 on a new computer (a clean slate).
Unfortunately, one of my favorite features of FreeBSD, the ports
collection seems to be broken for me.  No matter what port I try to
build I get the same set of error messages complaining about
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.  Here's the first few errors:

"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 649: warning: String comparison operator should be either == or !=
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 649: Malformed conditional (defined(USE_NEWGCC) && ${OSVERSION} < 400012)
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 649: Need an operator
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 671: warning: String comparison operator shoul
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 671: Malformed conditional (${OSVERSION} >= 300000)
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 671: Need an operator

I installed FreeBSD from CDROM.

I tried replacing the bsd.port.mk file with the one from ftp.freebsd.org
out of morbid curiosity, but this yielded the same results.  Here's
the MD5 checksum from the file.

MD5 (/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk) = 270999fdcca5429a11485c4ebe76f78a

I've also tried re-extracting the ports tarball from the CDROM, but
it had no effect.  What's going on here?

Thanks!
