You should use :patch, so that the sources are properly patched for FreeBSD.

That doesn't work because:
1) the base directory of a workdir is changeable with WRKDIRPREFIX
2) If zabbix gets updated, it breaks.
you have to use something like:
ZABBIX_WRKSRC!= cd ${.CURDIR:H:H}/net-mgmt/zabbix3-agent && make -V WRKSRC

| zabbix3-agent. I guess the cleanest way to support this would be having

| perhaps be a slave port belonging to zabbix{2,3}-agent?
|
| 3) I found that I cannot (as a normal user) successfully run 'make
| package'. I get an error like this:
| mkdir: /usr/ports/net-mgmt/foobar/work: Permission denied

Well, your user needs to be able to write, so, either checkout a ports tree
in your home directory, and set PORTSDIR accordingly, or chown -R
/usr/ports to your user, or set WRKDIRPREFIX to somewhere your user can
write, for example /tmp.
