You could add an echo statement in the config rule (specifically the UID
and INSTALL_AS_USER test) in bsd.port.mk around line 5759.  I think
something like this may give a better idea about the problem:

         echo "UID == ${UID}"

Also, I assume both id -u and id -ur return 0 for you as root.  Is the
id you run the id in /usr/bin?
