Did you track down the problem?

So far the easy fix for freebsd 5 and 6 is to create a sim link. (/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.options.mk -> /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.options.mk).

So if you wanna keep running freebsd 5.4 or 6.2, just use this command:
ln -s /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.options.mk /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.options.mk


Response from Ion-Mihai Tetcu [itetcu@FreeBSD.org]:

Because of the way out make works (include time and order of various
*.mk) it needs to have bsd.port.* in /usr/share/mk/

For 5.x I know it fails (I waited for it to EOL before using options.mk).
For 6 it shouldn't fail on any supported version.

What I don't understand is why it isn't working for you in 6.3R
