The old code that used to work for you got the version via sysctl, so I
was recommending that you keep doing that yourself, since it's no longer
built in to bsd.ports.mk.  

So just add "export OSVERSION=`sysctl kern.osreldate` to your script
that kicks off this update process, something like that.
