I apologise for not giving credit to Mark Linimon for patch.

Roman: I tried your patch.  Here is what is does:

[dan at polo:~/ports/www/mod_php4] $ make -V MASTERPORT -f ./Makefile 
PORTSDIR=~/ports LOCALBASE=/nonexistentlocal X11BASE=/nonexistentx
Unknown modifier '`'

Unclosed variable specification for MASTERDIR
Unknown modifier ''

[repeat above three until you reach 440 lines of output.

FWIW, the first line of output changes slightly if you remove the 
LOCALBASE specification, the first line of output changes to:
Unknown modifier '`'

I don't how to fix that.  cheers.
