Actually, I think I found this -- actually, anil@recoil.org asked a
question which started the train of thought that solved the problem.
For the archives:

If /usr/ports is on a separate partition, then this happens.  If
/usr/ports is under /usr, then everything Just Works.

Is this expected behaviour?  If so, perhaps this should be mentioned
in ports(7)?

Thanks to everyone for the flood of responses.
