You could add an echo statement in the config rule (specifically the UID
and INSTALL_AS_USER test) in bsd.port.mk around line 5759. I think
something like this may give a better idea about the problem:
echo "UID == ${UID}"
Also, I assume both id -u and id -ur return 0 for you as root. Is the
id you run the id in /usr/bin?
