I know I'm a bit late to this party, but still - if this is a GNU
configure script, you might want to pass a couple more options to it.
Take a look at how bsd.port.mk (around line 3735) does it - it basically
runs
${SETENV} ... ${CONFIGURE_ENV} ./${CONFIGURE_SCRIPT} ${CONFIGURE_ARGS}
with a couple more environment variables defined (compiler, linker,
paths, etc).  If your port does not do at least something similar to
this, it might end up compiling different parts of the source with
different settings (e.g. CC, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS for -D... and -I... and so
on).

And the same goes for the ${MAKE} invocation - take a look at the
do-build target in bsd.port.mk (just a couple of lines below the
configure one) - at least ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE}, if not a couple
more MAKE_FLAGS and MAKE_ARGS, maybe MAKE_JOBS for parallel building.

G'luck,
Peter
