I'm not sure about the "test: unknown operator invalid", but it
appears you're being bitten by a tr(1) bug in Solaris which bmake
trips over.

try setting MACHINE_ARCH=i386 in /etc/mk.conf or on the command line.

afaik, this has been resolved in more recent versions of bmake, but
bootstrap-pkgsrc has not yet been updated to use the latest version.
