Default [Solved] Ports don't build

Hi Folks,
I'm having problems installing ports, and the weird thing is that it seems to happen with any port (I've been trying to install firefox, but upgrading other packages yields the same results).

Here an example from trying to build firefox (highlighting is mine):
Code:
# portmaster www/firefox

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/www/firefox

===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports

===>>> Launching 'make checksum' for www/firefox in background
===>>> Gathering dependency list for www/firefox from ports
===>>> Launching child to update printproto-1.0.4 to printproto-1.0.5
	www/firefox >> printproto-1.0.4

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/x11/printproto

===>>> Launching 'make checksum' for x11/printproto in background
===>>> Gathering dependency list for x11/printproto from ports
===>>> No dependencies for x11/printproto
===>>> Continuing initial dependency check for www/firefox
===>>> Initial dependency check complete for www/firefox

===>>> The following actions will be taken if you choose to proceed:
	Install www/firefox
	Upgrade printproto-1.0.4 to printproto-1.0.5

===>>> Proceed? y/n [y] 


===>>> Starting build for www/firefox <<<===

===>>> Starting check for build dependencies
===>>> Gathering dependency list for www/firefox from ports
===>>> Launching child to update printproto-1.0.4 to printproto-1.0.5
	www/firefox >> printproto-1.0.4

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/x11/printproto

===>>> Starting check for build dependencies
===>>> Gathering dependency list for x11/printproto from ports
===>>> No dependencies for x11/printproto
===>  Cleaning for printproto-1.0.5

===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  License check disabled, port has not defined LICENSE
===>  Extracting for printproto-1.0.5
=> SHA256 Checksum OK for xorg/proto/printproto-1.0.5.tar.bz2.
===>  Patching for printproto-1.0.5
===>  Configuring for printproto-1.0.5
Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "then")
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/printproto.

===>>> make failed for x11/printproto
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Update for printproto-1.0.4 failed
===>>> Aborting update


===>>> You can restart from the point of failure with this command line:
       portmaster <flags> www/firefox x11/printproto
As said previously, I get this error message for seemingly every port I try to build. At first I assumed a broken port, but this has been like this for a few days or so (yes, I've used portsnap to sync my tree).

Does anyone else have the same problem or even know a fix?

PS: I'm pretty new to FreeBSD, so please forgive my ignorance should I have displayed it
