No dialogue for `make config` after upgrade to 11.0

I have upgraded a system from 9.3 -> 10.3 -> 11.0 using source upgrade.


root at waridi:/usr/ports/mail/dovecot2 # uname -msr
*FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE amd64*

I seem to be having some serious problems with it when it comes to building
applications.

1. When (for instance) I
    cd /usr/ports/www/apache24 && make config
    *The usual dialogue to select the options I want doesn't come up*.

2. Some applications that I used to compile manually don't want to let me
go past `configure`. I get this error of:
    *....*
*    checking type of off_t... unknown*
*    configure: error: Unsupported off_t type*

3. Ports don't want to obey the DESTDIR macro:

root at waridi:/usr/ports/mail/dovecot2 # make DESTDIR=/opt/dovecot2.2
===>  Creating some important subdirectories
===> /tmp subdirectory has been successfully created
===> /dev subdirectory has been successfully created
===>  Starting chrooted make in /opt/dovecot2.2...
chroot: /bin/sh: No such file or directory
===>  Chrooted make in /opt/dovecot2.2 failed
===>  Cleaning up...
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/mail/dovecot2


I am wondering what I could be missing which has led to these..
