portmaster has no knowledge of dmake, and it doesn't set make
variables unless the user specifies them. It does set a few
enviornment variables, but nothing that should have an effect here. It
would help to debug this if you could narrow it down a little.

Also, are you setting anything interesting in make.conf? Particularly
the new make jobs safe stuff?
