I can't help with the portupgrade craziness that's going on there (I do
not use portupgrade), but it's obvious it's induced by the Makefile
being broken.

The fact you still have ports/devel/imake-6 indicates:

1) Outdated ports tree,
2) A corrupt or incorrect /var/db/sup/ports-all tree (if you remove
   this directory, you will need to rm -fr /usr/ports/* as well)
3) When building the machine you chose "ports" from the list of things
   to install (from CD/DVD/FTP/whatever), but never "adopted" them.  The
   "adopted" ordeal is explained in the cvsup documentation (in this
   case, also applies to csup):
   http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html#caniadopt
4) Read-only filesystem where /usr/ports resides (e.g. csup won't work),
5) Bizarre file flags on parts of the ports tree (e.g. schg set on
   some ports for some reason; maybe some chflags -R script went crazy),
6) Corrupt filesystem (boot into single-user and do fsck -y.  And yes,
   the single-user part is important).

Item #3 is why I advocate folks do not choose "src" and "ports" from
their installation media unless absolutely forced to, and to simply do a
full csup once the system is up for the first time.
