portmaster issue: "The value of DISTDIR cannot be empty"

Today libwps had updated to new minor version.


I tried to update this as usually.
  # pkg_version -IvL=
libwps-0.2.0 <   needs updating (index has 0.2.1)

And I get error as below:
# portmaster libwps-0.2.0

===>>> The value of DISTDIR cannot be empty
===>>> Aborting update


What does it mean? How to fix?

Some addition information:
# du -sh /usr/ports/distfiles/
853M    /usr/ports/distfiles/

 From man page of ports:
      DISTDIR       Where to find/put distfiles, normally distfiles/ in 
PORTSDIR
