I've encountered this a lot when doing the first release builds for
sparc64 - it is usually due to this code in bsd.port.subdir.mk:

	@cat `cd ${entry}; make -V COMMENT` | ${HTMLIFY} >> $@.tmp

, resulting in a "cat | ${HTMLIFY} ..." on make errors, which hangs
waiting for input.
Since this does not seem to occur on other architectures, it may be
ia64-specific breakage. The problematic port is then easily spotted:
it's in the href in the last line of the generated
devel/README.html.tmp.
