I think you probably want to leave WRKSRC to its default value
and define WRKSRC_SUBDIR instead as
WRKSRC_SUBDIR=src/current

You might also be interested in BUILD_WRKSRC and other similar
variables: I suggest you explore Mk/bsd.port.mk in your ports
tree.

If you are unable to avoid redefining WRKSRC, you can define
LICENSE_FILE as
LICENSE_FILE=${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME}/docs/License.txt
