You'll find the trailing asterix is a wildcard to match any sub dirs.
When building CURDIR only contains multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod - CURDIR
will be something like
/usr/ports/multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod/work/cuse4-bsd-kmod-0.1.27/
The pre and post * matches all paths with multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod in
them - usually pretty unique when building within the ports dirs.
