Setting PORTSDIR fixes it for me (different directory, but it works).

Sounds right.

I wasn't aware of PORTSDIR, I'm a long time ports user but this is my
first foray into not simply using the stock FreeBSD ports tree.

I assumed (!!!) that portshaker knew everything that it needed to know
about where the trees were and was doing all of the magic for me.

Thanks for the help!
