Subject: Port build machinery, ${.CURDIR}, and AMD

The Makefiles of the the port build machinery use ${.CURDIR} when
deriving the pathname used for temporary files.
This is fine, but causes undesired effects on systems where the port
sources reside on a server mounted by AMD:
/sw/FreeBSD/ports (logical path) then becomes
/.amd_mnt/spica/work/pfeifer/FreeBSD/ports (physical path) and
the build stuff is put into
$WRKDIRPREFIX/.amd_mnt/spica/work/pfeifer/FreeBSD/ports
which I consider rather bad from a user's point of view (especially
given the directory name starting with a leading dot).
In a shell script I'd just use `pawd' instead of `pwd', but is there
something equivalent for ${.CURDIR}? Other possible fixes?
