As a followup - I doing all of this after suing to root, so it's hard to 
understand why permissions would be a problem.  This is only happening in this 
new port I'm trying to develop, which seems even stranger, because this is an 
exact copy of an existing port that I maintain (which builds fine - I checked 
just a few minutes ago), which some editing done to the Makefile to download 
and build a new version of the same software.

There's no NFS mounts involved.  All partitions are mounted normally.

# mount
/dev/ad8s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad8s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad8s1d on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad8s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad10s1d on /data (ufs, local, soft-updates)

Perms on /usr/local are "standard".
