Indeed. My mistake. I only suspected that to be your issue, as the output of
uname -a at the top of your OP didn't contain the machine type at the end. For
example the one I am writing this reply from outputs:

udns 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #0: Thu Dec 10 01:10:25 PST 2009    
root at udns:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/UDNS01  i386

Please note the i386 at the end. :)

I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a loss then. Except to note that freebsd build
machines all reported failure to build for all arc types. So if yous is from
a recent copy of cvs. That may explain it. You may want to wait a week, and
checkout a new copy of src && ports then.

Best wishes.
