It does, and it does not like INDEXFILE being redefined (it sets INDEXFILE 
itself when calling make index and gets confused if INDEXFILE is already 
changed by way of make.conf. It does not have a problem with INDEXFILE being 
different from "INDEX"/"INDEX-5" if you patch bsd.port.mk though, not sure why.)
