Are you running make from the port directory, or somewhere else? We
need more information on *exactly* what you are doing (cwd, what
commands are being typed, etc) to have any real idea what might be
happening.
I'm guessing that it should say /usr/ports/lang/php5/pkg-descr instead,
since there is such a file there.
You might try something like:
$ cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
$ make DESCR=/usr/ports/lang/php5/pkg-descr install clean
