Because of multiple FreeBSD installations and wanting to install the ports tree redundantly, I have one /usr/ports and, from the other FreeBSD installations, use BETA1 as a mount point, so I get /BETA1/usr/ports. There was a bug beginning somewhere around FreeBSD 11.1 or 11.2, whereby running make (such as "make all-depends-list"), would be very messy if ports directory was not /usr/ports. I was able to create a workaround by setting MAKESYSPATH=/usr/share/mk (environment variable). Another workaround was to set ports directory to /usr/ports using a null mount.
