Broken portmaster on freebsd?

Question

FreeBSD

After multiple digging in the configs, everything began to work properly without being noticed.

Freebsd 8 Updated
ports I execute
: portmaster php56
The message on obsolete OS falls out. I go where I need to, I write a more recent version of my OS.
I start again portmaster php56, and it to me:

===>>> Unable to determine the value of LOCALBASE
       Try setting it in the environment, or /etc/make.conf

===>>> The value of LOCALBASE cannot be empty
===>>> Aborting update

I go to /etc/make.confand write to the beginning of LOCALBASE

LOCALBASE="/usr/local"
WITHOUT_X11=yes
WITHOUT_FONTCONFIG=yes
WITHOUT_IPV6=yes
.if ${.CURDIR:N*/usr/ports/www/apache22} == ""
WITH_MPM=itk
WITH_SUEXEC=yes
SUEXEC_DOCROOT=/
WITH_PROXY_MODULES=yes
.endif

X11BASE=${LOCALBASE}
WITH_PKGNG="YES"

A portmaster to me again

===>>> Unable to determine the value of LOCALBASE
       Try setting it in the environment, or /etc/make.conf

===>>> The value of LOCALBASE cannot be empty
===>>> Aborting update
