Can somebody explain me, why databases/dbf2mysql has hardcoded
dependency to mysql323-client?

The Makefile contains:

LIB_DEPENDS=    mysqlclient.10:${PORTSDIR}/databases/mysql323-client

But it is unbuildable

The sources to dbf2mysql were last modified around 2000, when mysql-3.2x
was current.  Since then, it seems to have been pretty much abandoned.

A good candidate for deletion from the ports on grounds of obsolescence.

I know the original source is too old, but patch in the PR 64305 has comment:
"MySQL >3.23.49 and >4.0.2, new option -L enables it"

And as I search the web, other OS distributions have versions with 5.0.x dependency in repositories.

I will try to fix it by try & error method, as I am not C programmer.
