When I did those last examples, that last line was
env MAKESYSPATH=/usr/share/mk make all-depends-list

Bug occurs when building or configuring ports, syntax error in 
/BETA1/usr/share/mk/bsd.compiler.mk  line 52

I don't know about other situations such as building doc.

I could avoid this error either by setting (setenv or export, depending on shell) MAKESYSPATH or
by null-mounting /BETA1/usr/ports at /usr/ports .
