I'm not sure about that.
The correct path is define PORTSDIR if you don't use the default=20
(/usr/ports). But you don't have any need to define a symlink=20
from /usr/ports.
You've allready done this with WRKDIRPREFIX and may be done with=20
DISTDIR, PACKAGES and other env.
In fact, I remember this kind of problems with OpenBSD/NetBSD src when=20
use symlinks instead of env defs (BSDSRCDIR, I think).
