from sysutils/fusefs-kmod:
.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
.if !exists(${SRC_BASE}/sys/Makefile)
IGNORE= requires the Kernel source to be installed. Set SRC_BASE if it is not in /usr/src
.endif
.if !exists(${SRC_BASE}/sbin/mount)
IGNORE= requires the userland sources to be installed. Set SRC_BASE if it is not in /usr/src
.endif
Me, I would not test for the Makefile, but one of the actually required headers.
