multimedia/vlc builds just fine here on 10.0-CURRENT with UNAME_r.

I guess you're using sudo(8) which *by default* doesn't preserve
environment unlike su(1). Try using `env_keep', `!env_reset' or `-E'

  # stay away from /stable/9 as far as possible
  $ export UNAME_r='9.9-BLAH'

  $ sudo sh -c 'echo $UNAME_r'

  $ sudo -E sh -c 'echo $UNAME_r'
  9.9-BLAH

  $ su root -c 'echo $UNAME_r'
  9.9-BLAH
