Well it went a bit further but failed with the following:

Attention: if you build and deliver the above module(s) you may 
prolongue your the build issuing command "build --from cppunit"

After pondering a bit more over this problem I think I know where the 
6.4 stuff may have come from. After I built the base system I copied 
various useful files from /root on the 6.4 system, 
including /root/.cshrc which contained a line setting PACKAGESITE to 
ftp://ftp2.uk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.4-release/All/ 
and it's quite possible that I ran portinstall -P for some ports before 
I got round to changing this to point to packages-8.

Considering the vast number of files in /usr/local/bin with links to 
missing libraries I think my best approach now will be to deinstall ALL 
my ports and reinstall them again from scratch after deleting 
everything in /usr/ports/packages and checking that all directories 
in /usr/local (except etc) have been emptied.
