Did you try searching for the add-plist-buildinfo target?  Grepping around 
in /usr/ports/Mk/* found me a definition of that target, conditional on 
PACKAGE_BUILDING being defined; doing so was an effective workaround until 
I managed to break my system more differently [1].

Good to know that I won't have to fight this one again.

[1] Upgrading from an old -current past the set_rcvar() deprecation, so 
figured I'd just upgrade all ports.  It seems that a post-pkg2ng 
pkg_delete -a has rendered /usr/sbin/pkg unwilling to bootstrap up, being 
"Unable to create local database!", though I've hacked this system up a 
bit in other ways so that may not be the real cause.  More mail once I 
have a better grip on things.
