Oops!  Yeah.  It helps to get the right command!

But the other thing I was thinking of is that the above is not
sufficient for some ports.  In some cases, you also have to 'cd'
into the directory of the port before doing the `make'.  Eg:

(32)  cd
(33)  make -f /usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack/Makefile -V PORTNAME
"/usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack/Makefile", line 18: Could not find 
/root/../zsh/Makefile
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

(34)  cd /usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack
(35)  make -f /usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack/Makefile -V PORTNAME
zsh
