lsof IGNORE flag?

After fixing RAM issue, there is time for another one......

When portmaster -L found new updates (11 of them in fact), portmaster -a` breaks with:
Code: 
===>>> Currently installed version: lsof-4.90.p,8
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof

    ===>>> This port is marked IGNORE
    ===>>> requires kernel sources


    ===>>> If you are sure you can build it, remove the
           IGNORE line in the Makefile and try again.

===>>> Update for lsof-4.90.p,8 failed
===>>> Aborting update
My question:: is it safe to remove/comment ignore flag inside Makefile?
 
Try actually reading the error and understand why the error occurs.

Code: 
    ===>>> This port is marked IGNORE
    ===>>>[b] requires kernel sources[/b]
 
Because lsof requires kernel sources to build.

It uses internal kernel data structures that are not available unless you have the sources installed.
