https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=259085 explains it and 
has a workaround.

Sorry for the trouble. I've been busy and haven't had a chance to update 
the port yet.

I did add a MUTUALLY_EXCLUSIVE_BUILD_PACKAGES list that I need to push 
to the port too that should help with the root cause of the multiple 
bulk -f. That one depends on a queue rework which I don't have time to 
support at the moment but it's coming.
