Did you comment out the "USE_GMAKE=   YES" line?  As I mentioned, a fix to the 
port has already been applied, but you can see the problem reproduced on the 
ports build cluster at this URL:

Sure, I'll give it a shot.  Try a "make install" against this:

# Makefile attempt to reproduce bug

BIN_FILES=      foo bar baz
WRKSRC=         /tmp

install:
.for i in ${BIN_FILES}
         cp ${WRKSRC}/${i} /var/tmp/
.endfor


...and see whether 6's make space-stuffs "/tmp/foo" into "/tmp/ foo".  If it 
doesn't, the port's Makefile isn't much bigger than this example.

Thanks for the interest...
