I've been seeing the same problem lately (probably since the update to
2.4). It seems to be related to having MAKE_ARGS overrides set in
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. So far I haven't looked much further at
this problem since portupgrade is being actively worked upon by
others.
I build packages on one machine and then use the packages to install
on my various other machines. I use the same pkgtools.conf on each
machine.
I've also noticed other recent behavior changes in portupgrade. I
haven't yet decided if these are problems or improvements.
