What command did you use to obtain the ports tree? If you used the following:

# cvs -d$CVSROOT checkout -P ports

This command will get the HEAD of CVS for the ports branch which targets -current. The command which should have been used is (assuming OpenBSD 4.8 is installed...):

# cvs -d$CVSROOT checkout -rOPENBSD_4_8 -P ports

Section 15.4.1 of the FAQ discusses common errors made which will cause compilation errors. Mismatching the version of .the tree to what version of the operating system installed is perhaps the most common cause.
