You have an out of date ports tree: openobex has been in ports for some 4 months now: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/comms.html#openobex-1.0.1 You're also running a deprecated version of FreeBSD -- there were some serious bugs in version 5.2 which necessitated the release of 5.2.1 shortly afterwards. I advise you to install cvsup -- # pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui and then use that to get an up to date copy of the ports tree. While you're at it, also install portupgrade(1) as that will make maintaining your installed ports into a doddle.
