I had the same problem. Delete the files in the port. Then copy the ones 
from here back into the directory. 
<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/find/master> (type

There is no patch in that port, and I have no idea how it got there. It 
wasn't in the port on other servers, so I copied the port from one of those 
to the one that was failing.
