I don't think that is the correct file. Because the file that is used while building is dynamically generated from PORTSDIR/Mk/bsd.tex.mk so far I remember. There were couple of issues while upgrading using ports and it is advisable that you remove all tex related ports before upgrading.

You have also not shared the current OS version and ARCH so it's difficult to anticipate what went wrong. But so far I can confirm all text ports build perfectly in clean state or poudriere.
