.if conditions are evaluated on the spot and...

... I bet DISTDIR simply isn't set when the condition is evaluated,
because the variable is only assigned a value later on when bsd.port.mk
is included.
make(1) usually uses lazy evaluation, but .if, .for, and := are
evaluated right when their lines are parsed.
