building ports broken

[Robert Huff]

    (I posted this to ports@ and got no response, so you are my last
best hope ....
     This (as far as I know) is something I've screwed up, not a problem
with the ports build process; I just need some help setting things right.)

     After a morning of updating various ports, the build process is
broken; specifically, it _appears_ to involve "make".
     (This happened on the 20th, but I don't think there's anything
special about that days changes.)
     Test case:

huff@>> cd /usr/ports/misc/pciids
huff@>> make clean

	... and nothing happens.
	After waiting a few seconds I start hitting 'ctl-t' and get this:

load: 0.20  cmd: sh 41244 [running] 0.00r 0.00u 0.00s 1% 1388k

make[17]: Working in: /usr/ports/lang/python33
make[16]: Working in: /usr/ports/lang/python33
make[9]: Working in: /usr/ports/lang/python33

     until I ctl-c out.
     I have no idea what happened; as far as I know there's no reason
for this to try to build python.

     Help, please?

     Bewildered,
