There is a problem that buildlink does not create the default symlink 
in mkspecs when building the buildlink tree.

In sysutils/k3b/Makefile you can see a work around for this:

pre-configure:
        # buildlink loses this symlink
        ln -s ${BUILDLINK_PREFIX.qt4-libs}/qt4/mkspecs/default 
${BUILDLINK_DIR}/qt4/mkspecs/default


are you striking the same thing here?  
There is then the question why it would strike DragonFly and not NetBSD 
(or other systems).
