Not all Makefiles which contain BROKEN mean the port is broken.  A port 
might be marked as broken for certain platforms or because a port does not 
compile without a certain kernel option (I'm going from memory).

The box on which FreshPorts runs, the number of broken ports is 131.  That 
makes the figure just over 98%.[1]

[1] - FreshPorts determines that a port is broken if "make -V BROKEN" 
returns a non-empty string.
