Why are you setting environment variables like this in the first place?
If you need to use a value elsewhere in the portfile, use a normal Tcl
variable. If you need environment variables to be set during a phase,
use the options build.env, destroot.env, etc.

I'm pretty sure setting env(FOO) affects the entire process, not just
the interpreter that's executing the portfile.
