Thanks again for pointing that out.  For others who might have this  
issue, here are my findings to the solution.

At first, I figured I could just change all the worksrcpath to  
worksrcdir, unfortunately, I got this error:
DEBUG: couldn't read file "edbrowse-3.4.3/src/makefile.osx": no such  
file or directory

That path is way shorter than the usual, fully-qualified one.  Digging  
through the Guide I found how each variable is composed:
workpath = ${portbuildpath}/work
worksrcdir = ${distname}
worksrcpath = ${workpath}/${worksrcdir}

Noticing which variables have what paths, I figured out what was  
wrong.  I should have only changed "set worksrcpath", rather than  
changing all instances of worksrcpath as I would then use the  
worksrcpath variable in my phases.
