Xorg from ports failing at Building for intltool-0.50.2_1 with syntax error

I am having difficulty installing xorg from ports. During the installation I receive an error during the stage where intltool is built for xkeyboard.
On my last attempt, I ran the port with the command: make MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes install clean >& out.txt I redirected stdout and stderr because I don't have a window to scroll with on that machine.

The error message I received is below:
Code:

I am particularly interested in the syntax error
Code: 
./config.status: 1369: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected
. Does this mean that I have made a syntax error somewhere? Or, does it indicate a problem with the makefile or port?

I do use a DasKeyboard with my machines; but, I tried a reboot with the keyboard disconnected; I saw no change. I think the error is with the makefile. Is that so? What's the best way to get it fixed?
 
In /etc, cat make.conf | more says cat: make.conf: No such file or directory

FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE #0 r274401: Tue Nov 11 22:51:51 UTC 2014. I ran portsnap before starting up the install. A copy of my dmesg is uploaded with my ethernet address redacted.

I went over to the directory where the syntax error was referenced. I made some copies of the file. The config.status was in /usr/ports/textproc/intltool/work/intltool-0.50.2.
  • config.status.txt is a strait copy with a .txt to permit upload.
  • config.status.out.txt is a line numbered copy from cat -n config.status > config.status.out.txt
  • 1369.out.txt is a copy from cat -n config.status | grep 1369 > 1369.out.txt
  • 1300config.status.out.txt is a copy from cat -n config.status | grep "13[0-9][0-9] > 1300conifg.status.out.txt to show the syntax error line in context

Update your system with freebsd-update fetch update (or source based update if you're using that). I wouldn't be surprised that the problem is caused by lack of security/errata updates on your system.
 
No change. I updated the operating system using freebsd-update(8) commands as outlined in chapter 24.2 of the manual. I updated the ports again using portsnap(8). I receive the same errors as before.

Odd, it builds just fine here. It's a bit of a long shot but there may be some local modifications interfering. Try this:
Code: 
rm -rf /usr/ports/*
portsnap fetch extract
That should clear out everything and give you a fresh ports tree.
