I ran into this with bison too.  Here's the details.  I sent this to
the ports list the other day.  The ImageMagic error may be due to a
different variable w/shell metachars, or a different problem entirely.

While installing the port for devel/bison, I kept getting errors.
It turns out that bison has a PORTCOMMENT value with parens in it
which confuses the shell.
Putting quotes around the ${PORTCOMMENT} being echoed into the
+COMMENT file fixed things.
There may be other cases where vars should be quoted, too.  Sorry, but
I don't have the time to search for them.
I'm not subscribed to this list, so I appreciate being CC'd on any
followup.
