Since you've subsequently noticed the same problem when running "find", I suspect your regular expression is not correct. I will try to build the port later and see if I can figure out what's going on.

This spew is normal; I suggest you ignore it. I don't know why we added it to reinplace. Perhaps it should be removed from base. It becomes especially annoying for any port using the kde4 portgroup, because the kde4 portgroup does a reinplace on every file in the tarball, resulting in three lines of output in the log for every file, and some ports have thousands of files. For example, kdelibs4's main.log file is over 4MB large just by the time the extract phase finishes.
