Here is is a 1 line patch, commenting out a bad return after a perhaps aprropriate error check, 
http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/ports/gen/graphics/tiff/files/patch-tiff2ps

It fixes FreeBSD current ports/graphics/tiff PORTVERSION=4.0.10 at 2018-12-26

Someone on CC please also feed it upstream to whoever is generic source maintainer beyond FreeBSD.

The return is commented out to stop tiff2ps converting a usable .tiff to a useless .ps
I retained warning: TIFFError(filename, "Inconsistent value of es: %d", es);
which may be appropriate, but it should be just a Warning not an Error.

tiff-4.0.3 on FreeBSD-9.2_RELEASE is OK. & works without error & needs no patch.

Crude test:
 fetch http://www.berklix.eu/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/ports/gen/graphics/tiff/files/tiff2ps-testdata.tif
 /usr/local/bin/tiff2ps tiff2ps-testdata.tif > tiff2ps-testdata.ps

My test environment:
 fetch http://www.berklix.eu/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/ports/gen/graphics/tiff/files/tiff2ps-testdata.jpg
 fetch http://www.berklix.eu/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/src/jhs/share/mk/berklix.mk
 fetch http://www.berklix.eu/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/src/jhs/share/mk/berklix2.mk
 cp berklix.mk berklix2.mk /usr/share/mk/
 echo ".include <berklix.mk>" > Makefile
 make DEBUG_BERKLIX_MK=yes tiff2ps-testdata.pdf

The various ports/ format converter utilities on FreeBSD use an assorted mis-match of defaults:
USA letter V. ISO A4, so maybe some of my macros are omitting to specify A4, & eg this fails too,
	/usr/local/bin/tiff2ps -p -a  -h11.6944 -w8.26389 
but while a warning is nice, an error producing an empty dummy .ps is not nice.

Cheers,
Julian
