It's been widely reported on the ports list that you can't do fresh
ports compiles on 10-current, and won't be able to until well after
9.0-RELEASE. The primary reason is that auto* stuff doesn't understand
the 2-digit release version.

Solutions are to set UNAME_r=9.0-CURRENT in your environment, and/or
twiddle the version in newvers.sh and rebuild/reinstall your kernel.
