AFAICT it isn't broken, at least not on amd64.  It compiles normally on
if I comment out the following lines in the Makefile:

.else
BROKEN=                "Does not compile on FreeBSD >= 5.x"

You could try that and see if it works.

My system is: 
FreeBSD slackbox.xs4all.nl 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: 
Fri Apr 15 17:37:34 CEST 2005 
rsmith at slackbox.xs4all.nl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RFS  amd64

A couple of months ago I posted a fix (that has been applied) to unbreak
the port on amd64. ATM I cannot not look at portsmon to see what's
b0rken; I get timeouts on portsmon.firepipe.net.
