That all seems to be in order.

I'm wondering whether your use of sudo is mucking things up and it's a
permissions problem. i.e: it's running make OK but freaking out when
it tries to invoke the compiler in the config stuff.

I always build my ports using portupgrade as root.

Maybe you could try logging in as root & then running it. If you'd
rather not do that, portupgrade has got an -s switch which allows you
to run the commands via sudo but you'd probably have to put cc & c++
in your sudoers (aswell as other commands e.g: install(1)).
