Why go to all that effort when you can just 'csup ports-supfile'?
Also, rm -rf /var/db/ports/* to clear out the previous make options and see if you need to reconfigure some options.
ITYM "irretrievably blow away every option setting for all of your installed ports". Which is pretty drastic advice when 'make rmconfig' will clear just one port's settings.
