bsd.port.mk test below is too agressive, let's have it just Warn, not Fail.
Also prefix text "Error: " or "Warning: " make it obvious which is happening.

It seems likely people may have different opinions if it should
just Warn or Error, so kets add an environent switch to stear that decision.
Which way the default setting of switch should be, I won't suggest
(in hope of enhancing chance of agreement to add the switch :-)
Whoever adds the switch could decide ?

Background:
        current fails to make my /usr/ports/graphics/libspiro
        I contacted cc'd MAINTAINER= who wrote me
        "my poudriere is running on 10"
        I dont run poudriere, but have a native 10 partition
        so simply did a chroot ...
I ran:
cd /s2; head -1 /etc/motd
        # FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE (LAPR.small) #0: Sat Feb 28 16:29:20 CET 2015
cd /usr/ports/graphics/libspiro
make clean
        make: "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk" line 1214: UNAME_r (11.0-CURRENT) and 
OSVERSION (1001000) do not agree on major version number.
make
        make: "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk" line 1214: UNAME_r (11.0-CURRENT) and 
OSVERSION (1001000) do not agree on major version number.

Same forced error can be seen on current lines 1197 & 1199.

After I patched out the failing bsd.port.mk error I could continue my test 
of the port & see the port build with 10 src & ports on an 11 kernel.

Cheers,
Julian
