We have same problems with japanese/nkf on Mac OS X. It has "NKF" directory,
so we can't make "nkf" binary as follow:

yyamano@bootzilla% bmake
===> Building for nkf-1.7
cc -O -o nkf nkf.c
/usr/bin/ld: can't create output file: nkf (Is a directory, errno = 21)
*** Error code 1

yyamano@bootzilla% ls -l /pkgsrc/japanese/nkf/work/nkf-1.7
total 216
