First of all, why are you manually setting PKGDIR?

If I understand it correctly, PKGDIR is the directory containing all the ports files (pkg-descr, pkg-plist, files/ etc.) so I'm not surprised that ports fail o build if you set it to something odd.
I'm also not sure if setting PKGDIR actually has any effect when installing packages.
