Cabextract port fails during AMaVis portupgrade

I have been trying to resolve this for a few days now and with the help
from someone on the AMaVis list, I believe I know the issue at hand. It
seems that, on our 5.2.1 box, configure for cabextract-1.1 fails to
autodetect my fnmatch.h:

checking fnmatch.h usability... no
checking fnmatch.h presence... no
checking for fnmatch.h... no

While another 5.3 box here does find this and builds the port fine. My
friend on the AMaVis list suggests that the fnmatch.c shouldn't have
been compiled on FreeBSD at all and is not needed. Can someone suggest
how I can get around this on my 5.2.1 box?

The error when trying to build the cabextract is:

esmtp# make all install
