The problem is your use of USE_MOTIF in /etc/mk.conf - it's not meant
for that kind of use. For example, there is no mention of USE_MOTIF
in pkgsrc/mk/mk.conf.example, and in the packages(7) manual page,
under the section:

USE_MOTIF is meant to be set in a package's Makefile, to indicate that
Motif headers and libraries are required, and that, if they're unavailable,
to add in a dependency on the lesstif package.
Take care,
