Just tried "very carefully", all steps seem to work fine
(OS 8.2-STABLE/x86 of August 2011 here, ports tree not
fully up to date, so port version is just 2.0.2):

	# make config
	# make fetch
	# make extract
	# make

I interrupted the "make" stage as everything seemed to
compile normally. As I said, the installation here is
already a bit old, but I hesitate to update anything
because, you know, never touch a running system. :-)

Make sure your ports tree is okay. The file mentioned
in the error message should be extracted intowork/:
/usr/ports/irc/inspircd/work/InspIRCd-2.0.2/BSDmakefile.

Do a "make clean" before you try again.
