How recently have you cvsupped your ports tree?  Try that and then
make clean   in the port dir, and then try building the port again.
That often works because new patches get committed.   Just trying the 
make clean before retrying the build may work too.

That's pretty normal.  That's how a port works.  If it requires other 
things, it will also build those and then finish building the one you 
asked for. A quick and dirty way of finding out what port dependencies 
will be built is to run a make clean in the port dir.  For ex:
cd /usr/ports/audio/xmms; make clean
will list all the things the xmms port requires.  There is another way 
of doing that, but I can never remember it and can't find it in my mail 
right now.

I am a little confused about the make targets for the ports as the 
ports manpage says one thing and Greg's book says another, but 
make install     always works for me,  and I usually do 
make install clean     to get rid of the extra stuff from the build 
process.
