Some port's archives contains files modes that are a bit too restrictive
for some usage. For example:
BUILD_DEPENDS= ${NONEXISTENT}:foo/bar:configure
When building as a regular user, dependencies are installed/built as
root, so if the archive contains files that have a mode of, say, 600,
they will not be readable by the port requesting the dependency.
This will also fix broken distribution files where directories don't
have the executable bit on.
OSVERSION 1100077 is after base r283997:
Change directory permissions in pre-order.
In this order, it won't try to recurse into a directory for which it
doesn't have permission, before changing that permission.
This follows an existing behavior in other BSDs, linux, OS X.

This is the FreeBSD Ports Collection. For an easy to use
WEB-based interface to it, please see:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports
For general information on the Ports Collection, please see the
FreeBSD Handbook ports section which is available from:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
for the latest official version
or:
The ports(7) manual page (man ports).
These will explain how to use ports and packages.
If you would like to search for a port, you can do so easily by
saying (in /usr/ports):
make search name="<name>"
or:
make search key="<keyword>"
which will generate a list of all ports matching <name> or <keyword>.
make search also supports wildcards, such as:
make search name="gtk*"
For information about contributing to FreeBSD ports, please see the Porter's
Handbook, available at:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/
NOTE: This tree will GROW significantly in size during normal usage!
The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles,
and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work
subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done
building a given port. /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically
cleaned without ill-effect.
