Problem is with dependency libiconv-1.13.1_1.  I am using the ports tree from BETA1, from portsnap, hence ports directory is /BETA1/usr/ports, BETA1 being the BETA1 partition/file system.

WKRDIR needs to be an absolute path and will break when it moves up the
tree to install dependencies.  The most likely fix is to adjust the
default value ${WRKDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}/work to your liking, but what
you probably want is to set WRKDIRPREFIX to say /BETA1/workb2/ or
similar.
